Epidernal cell contain few,if any,chloroplasts.How does this affect the amount of light reaching the mesophyll

Answer 1

More light reaches the mesophyll as a result of the epidermal cells having very few chloroplasts. The epidermal cells are an adaptation to prevent water loss and are allow light to flow through them to pallisade parenchyma cells in the mesphyll that perform most of the photosynthetic activity in the plant.

Answer 2

They are specially adopTed with no chloroplast. if they had, most of the sunlight reachiNG the leaves would be absorbed blocked out and the palisade and spongy mesophyll would have little or no sunlight available to photosynthesise.
Therefor, alot of light is available for the mesophyll cells to photosynthesise.
