Mesophyll tissue ~ Fig. 14. — Leaf structure. The movement of water and solutions takes place through the fibro-vascular bundles. The mesophyll tissue fur- nishes the means for elaborating plant-food from raw material. Inter- change of air and gases takes place through the stomata. The bulli- f orm cells are similar to mesophyll cells, but contain a large percentage of water. Shrinkage of these cells causes the leaf to roll in dry weather. these activities may proceed. Each of the above functions of the leaf requires specialized tissues which are briefly de- scribed as follows (21, 22) : — 21.
