What are the Adaptations of Spongy Mesophyll in Different Environments?
In different environmental conditions, the spongy mesophyll can exhibit various adaptations. For instance, in xerophytes (plants adapted to dry environments), the spongy mesophyll may be more densely packed to reduce water loss. In contrast, hydrophytes (aquatic plants) may have a more pronounced spongy mesophyll to facilitate buoyancy and gas exchange in water.
