Answer:

Palisade cells are packed tightly together, and most of the plant's photosynthesis is carried out in this sub-tissue. Moreover, cells in palisade mesophyll have a characteristic cylindrical shape and many chloroplasts. In spongy mesophyll cells, there are many air spaces, and the cells have slightly thinner cell walls.

Hope it helped!!!
