Chloroplasts are necessary for photosynthesis. This must in some way be necessary to operate the opening and closing of stoma. The neighboring epidermal cells do not have chloroplasts and do not require large amounts of energy from photosynthesis do to their simple job of being the "skin" of the leaf. These epidermal cells are fed by lower layers which do have chloroplasts.

∙ 11y agoThe presence of chloroplasts in the guard cells mean photosynthesis will occur. This leads to an accumulation of glucose in daylight and the guard cells will absorb water by osmosis from the epidermal cells which lack chloroplasts and do not produce glucoes. The guard cells becomes turgid and so the stoma opens to allow water loss.

∙ 14y agoGuard cells are photosynthetic because they enjoy sexual pleasure from the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts have a good time rubbing up against guard cells. Yes. =]

What organelles do the guard cells contain that the surrounding epidermal cells do not?
Guard cells contain specialized organelles called chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis. These chloroplasts enable guard cells to produce sugars and other molecules needed for energy. The surrounding epidermal cells, on the other hand, do not typically contain chloroplasts as they are not directly involved in photosynthesis.
Which type of dermal cell has more chloroplasts than any other dermal cells because it has greater energy needs?
Lower epidermal cells
Do a plant or animal cells contains a chloroplasts?
okay, animal cells don't have chloroplasts!! only plant cells do!! chloroplasts give the plant its green color!!
Are epidermal cheek cells pigmented?
no
What cellular structures are found in the epidermal cells of humans but not in epidermal cell of leaves?
mitochondria

Why are chloroplasts absent in onion epidermal cells and potato tubular cells?
Onion bulb is not photosynthetic.So chloroplasts are absent.
Which type of dermal cell has more chloroplasts than any other dermal cells because it has greater energy needs?
Lower epidermal cells
Where are cells containing chlorplasts located in a leaf?
Mesophyllic cells are the cells that lie between the lower and upper epidermal layers of leaves and contain chloroplasts necessary for the production of sugars from sunlight.
What is the function of epidermal cells in sponges?
The epidermal cells of sponges are responsible for cell adhesion and maintenance of their shape and structure. The epidermis is composed of pinacocytes (epidermal cells) which are flattened cells in the sponge's body wall.
What are epidermal dendritic cells?
Langerhans cells
What structure can be seen in Elodea leaf but not present in epidermal cells of onion cells?
Chloroplasts, because the onion does not undergo photosynthesis. The onion plant does but the onion itself is a bulb.

Where do epidermal cells get their nutrients?
Epidermal cells receive nutrients and oxygen from the blood vessels in the dermis.
Do a plant or animal cells contains a chloroplasts?
okay, animal cells don't have chloroplasts!! only plant cells do!! chloroplasts give the plant its green color!!
Does HIV attack epidermal cells?
HIV mainly attacks cells in the immune system. I'm not aware of a major impact on skin (epidermal) cells.
What cells line the ventricle of the brain?
Ependymal cells
