LaoTightly packed cells with large numbers of chloroplasts are typically found in the palisade layer of plant leaves. These cells are responsible for carrying out the majority of photosynthesis in the leaf by capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy. The high concentration of chloroplasts allows for efficient light absorption and photosynthetic activity.

Why are mesophyll cells packed so tightly?
The upper leaf cells are tightly packed to trap the energy in sunlight.From: -Pearson Education,Inc.
What is the most general characteristics of epithelial tissue?
Tightly packed cells
Does epithelium consists of closely packed cells?
Yes, epithelium consists of closely packed cells that form the protective covering of internal and external surfaces of the body. These cells are tightly packed together with minimal extracellular matrix between them.
Why are the cells of the palisades layer packed so tightly togehter?
The cells of the palisade layer are packed tightly together to maximize the absorption of light for photosynthesis. This arrangement ensures that most of the light that enters the leaf is captured by chloroplasts in these cells, enabling efficient photosynthetic processes.
