Solution

The leaf cells that are specialized for photosynthesis are the mesophyll cells.

Here's why:

  1. Mesophyll cells are located in the middle layer of the leaf (the mesophyll layer) and contain many chloroplasts, the organelles where photosynthesis occurs.

  2. These cells are exposed to sunlight, which is necessary for photosynthesis to take place.

  3. They have large surface areas to absorb more sunlight and are thin so gases can easily diffuse across them.

  4. The mesophyll cells are surrounded by air spaces that allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells and oxygen to leave them.

So, the answer to your question is mesophyll cells.
