Two cut-off leaves from a decorative lawn plant were gradually drying on the grass. One leaf was very dried out and the other was still green and pliable. I examined both sections to see how the deterioration affects the appearance of the cells.Structures in the cells and certain structures within the cells themselves radically changed and essentially vanished as the dead cells aged.
