Mesophyll cells acquire the water required for photosynthesis by absorbing it from the humid atmosphere. True or false?
Answer: False
Mesophyll cell acquire water from the xylem which transport water in plant from root to leaves, not form the humid environment.
Explanation:-
Mesophyll cell are saturated with cellulose microfibrils (primary cell wall). This keep the water adsorb on it. Leaves has many air spaces lie sponge for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide required for photosynthesis. Water evaporate form surface of this mesophyll cell create suction pressure and thereby pull the water from xylem.
