In monocot leaf, the tissue and cell types and their functions that develop from which primary meristem are:
1. Epidermis: The outermost layer of cells that provides protection and regulates exchange of gases and water vapor. It develops from the protoderm.
2. Palisade Mesophyll: A layer of elongated cells located below the epidermis that contains chloroplasts for photosynthesis. It develops from the ground meristem.
3. Spongy Mesophyll: A loosely packed layer of cells located beneath the palisade mesophyll that serves as a site for gas exchange and contains chloroplasts for photosynthesis. It also develops from the ground meristem.
4. Vascular Bundles: The tissue that transports water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. It consists of xylem and phloem and develops from the procambium.
5. Bundle Sheath Cells: A layer of cells surrounding the vascular bundles that regulates the movement of substances into and out of the vascular tissue. It develops from the ground meristem.
6. Stomata: Small openings located on the underside of the leaf that allow for gas exchange, such as the uptake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen. They develop from the protoderm.
