Palisade cell
Palisade cells are a type of mesophyll (plant tissue) and can be found within the leaves of all green plants. They contain chloroplasts, each of which contains several different photosynthetic pigments (arranged in photosynthetic reaction centres), which absorb sunlight, converting the energy stored in photons to chemical energy through photosynthesis.
