What cell of the elodea cell has the largest cells?
I don't know but I like typing
How are elodea cells similar to cheek cells?
Well, a cheek cell would be some sort of animal cell, and an Elodea would have plant cells. So an Elodea cell would have cells walls, while a cheek cell would not. A cheek cell would have a pair of centrioles, while an Elodea cell would not.
Why do onion and elodea cells have a more definite shape than the human cheek cells?
Elodea and onion cells have more consistent shapes than human epithelial cells because they have cell walls. The human epithelial cells do not have defined cell walls.
Is the elodea cell a single celled organism?
Yes. An organism is anything that is alive. What constitutes alive? Something that's alive fulfills these 7 requirements: Homeostasis. This means regulating the internal environment. Does Elodea regulate itself? Yes. Organization, or being made up of one or more cells. Elodea is made of cells. Metabolism, or making cells and energy. Does Elodea do this? Yes. Growth. Does Elodea grow? Yes. Adaptation, or being able to change in response to its environment. Can Elodea change in response to its environment? Yes. It will grow towards a source of light. Response to stimuli. Yes, Elodea does respond to stimuli. As mentioned before, it will grow towards light. Reproduction, or producing new organisms. Can Elodea reproduce? Yes. Elodea fulfills all of these conditions; therefore, it is alive and therefore an organism.
Is a cell from the elodea plant an organism?
No, cells from the elodea plant are not organisms because they cannot live on their own like the paramecium.
What is the difference between paramecium and elodea cells?
Elodea Is a multicellular celled organism, paramecium is a single organism Another thing is that Elodea (being multicellular) can not survive on its own while on the other hand paramecium can
What is the long disk-like green structures within a elodea cell?
The disk-like green structures within an Elodea cell are the chloroplasts.
What kingdom is paramecia in?
Paramecia belong to the kingdom of protists, which are unicellular or multicellular organisms that live in or near water. Some protists can be plant-like in that some can perform photosynthesis, and some are animal-like in that their cell's organelles resemble those in animal cells.
What happened to the elodea cells when they were exposed to distilled water?
The cells of the elodea leaf becomes turgid... Remember that the distilled water is hypotonic to the cell and water will move in to the cell walls creating turgidity....Just like when you go to grocery store, the produce are always sprinkled with water...This is best for plants....
Do elodea cells contain nucei?
Yes, an elodea cell does have a nucleus. I just did an experiment in Biology and the nucleus is just hard to see unless you are using a stain, like iodine or methylene blue. The nucleus is hard to see because it is small and the large vacuole may obstruct your view of it. All eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, and all prokaryotic ells have a nucleoid region.
Why don't you have to stain the elodea leaf cell?
The reason for this is that many cells have organelles that are very hard to see under a microscope, staining these cells allows you to more easily see these organelles. In the case of an Elodea, the invisble organelles is the central vacuole.
What causes the elodea leaf cells to be flexible?
Elodea have a more rigid shape. Elodea cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and are square shaped. Animal Cells are round, don't have cell walls just a membrane, and because they are heterotrophic they don't have chloroplasts.
