Specialised Cells - Palisade Cell

The scene lets students explore and learn about palisade cells as specialised cells. The model of the cell will allow students to understand the function of palisade cells, how they are adapted to absorb sunlight and drive the process of photosynthesis.

# Learning objectives

1: Be able to describe the function of a palisade cell.{.info}

2: Be able to describe the structure of a palisade cell{.info}

# The Function of a Palisade Cell{.objective .objective1}

In this section, the function of a palisade cell will be outlined. It’s role in photosynthesis involves absorbing sunlight needed to drive the chemical reaction.

# The Structure of a Palisade Cell{.objective .objective2}

In this section, the structure of a palisade cell will be provided. Its adaptation to absorbing sunlight efficiently will be linked to its elongated shape, upper position in a leaf and for being packed with chloroplasts.
