What else can I help you with?
Does leaf cells have cell walls?
yes it does
why do we boil a leaf when testing phontosynthesis in a leaf?
to kill the cell which disrupt the cell membranes and softens the cuticle and cell walls
What do the cells in the epidermis layer of a leaf lack?
Cell walls
How would you identify if a cell is an human cheek cell or a bean leaf cell?
A human cheek cell (animal cell) and a bean leaf cell (plant cell) have a number of differences.Animal cellsHave no cell walls - so they are irregular in shape.Have a small vacuoleDo not have chloroplastsPlant cellsHave cell walls - so they are rectangular, or brick-like, in shapeHave a large vacuoleContain chloroplasts which is where photosynthesis occurs
What will happen when you boil a green leaf in a test tube?
It's cell walls will break down and the leaf becomes soft/flaccid
How does having cells with cell walls help a leaf to absorb as much energy as possible?
Cell walls, unlike cell membranes, are not selectively permeable. Less energy would be able to leave the cells.

Does a leaf cell have a cell wall?
Yes, leaf cells have a cell wall. The cell wall provides structural support and protection to the cell, helping it maintain its shape and integrity. In plant cells, the cell wall is located outside the cell membrane.
What has a cell wall a nerve cell a leaf cell a cheek cell or a bone cell?
A cell wall is found in a plant cell and provides structural support and protection. Nerve cells are specialized cells that transmit electrical impulses. Leaf cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Cheek cells are epithelial cells that line the inner cheek. Bone cells are osteocytes that maintain bone tissue.
Why must the leaf be dipped in boiling water before immersing it in ethanol?
the green pigment, chlorophyll should be removed in order to observe color change during test for starch. in order to do that, the leaf is dipped in boiling water to break cell walls which would facilitate the release of the pigment out of the cell. immersion in ethanol would dissolve the pigment which would be released out of the cells thereby making the leaf appear pale in color.
How do the cell walls of fungi differ from the cell walls of plants?
Fungal cell walls are primarily made of chitin, while plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose. Fungal cell walls do not contain lignin, which is found in plant cell walls and provides rigidity. Additionally, fungal cell walls do not have chloroplasts like plant cell walls do.
What are the observable characteristics of an Elodea leaf when viewed under a microscope?
When an Elodea leaf is viewed under a microscope, observable characteristics include the presence of chloroplasts, cell walls, and a distinct cell structure with a central vacuole. The chloroplasts appear as green structures within the cells, and the cell walls are visible as thin, rigid boundaries surrounding each cell. The cells are typically rectangular in shape and contain a large central vacuole, which may appear as a clear space within the cell.
