The four-carbon compound is then transported to the bundle sheath chloroplasts, where it drops off CO 2 and returns to the mesophyll. Source: Internet
The transparent epidermis layer allows light to pass through to the palisade mesophyll cells where most of the photosynthesis takes place. Source: Internet
This causes millions of minute menisci to form in the mesophyll cell wall. Source: Internet
