Answer 2

A monocot leaf is a type of leaf that has parallel veins and a simple structure. The internal structure of a monocot leaf consists of the following layers:

Upper epidermis: This is the outermost layer of cells that protects the leaf and prevents water loss. It has a thick cuticle and stomata for gas exchange.
Mesophyll: This is the middle layer of cells that contains chloroplasts for photosynthesis. It is not differentiated into palisade and spongy layers like in dicot leaves. It also has air spaces for gas exchange.
Vascular bundles: These are the strands of xylem and phloem that transport water and nutrients to and from the leaf. They are scattered throughout the mesophyll and are surrounded by a bundle sheath of parenchyma cells. The bundle sheath may also contain chloroplasts and perform photosynthesis.
Lower epidermis: This is the innermost layer of cells that also protects the leaf and prevents water loss. It has a thin cuticle and more stomata than the upper epidermis.
A line diagram of a monocot leaf is shown below:

|<-- Upper epidermis -->|<-- Mesophyll -->|<-- Lower epidermis -->|
| | | |
| / \ / \ / \ | / \ / \ / \| / \ / \ / \ |
| / \ / \ / \ | / \ / \ / | / \ / \ / \ |
| ( X X ) |( X X |( X X ) |
| \ / \ / \ / | \ / \ / \ | \ / \ / \ / |
| \_/___\_/___\_/ | \_/___\_/___\_/| \_/___\_/___\_/ |
| | | |

X = vascular bundle

Answer 3

/ \ = air space in mesophyll
| = cell wall

Answer 4

Yes, that is correct. / \ represents the air space in the mesophyll and | represents the cell wall
