<span>Perigee is the word that describes the position in the moon's elliptical orbit when it is closes to Earth. The term that is quite its opposite is apogee.

Katyanochek1 [597]
<h2>Mesophyll cells</h2>

Explanation:

The most distinctive characteristic of leaf mesophyll cells is that they are filled with many chloroplasts

Mesophyll cells constitute the main body of a leaf, occurring between upper and lower epidermis

Typically, the leaves of temperate-zone plants have two layers of mesophyll cells, the palisade mesophyll on the upper side and the spongy mesophyll on the lower side

The palisade mesophyll is a layer of densely packed, columnar cells which contain many chloroplasts, this layer is responsible for most of the photosynthesis of leaves

The spongy mesophyll is composed of large, often odd-shaped, photosynthetic cells separated from one another by large, intercellular spaces, these intercellular spaces apparently facilitate the exchange of photosynthetic gases
