Mosses are bryophytic plants.So they have chloroplasts.
Moss is typically one cell thick. It is composed of simple, non-vascular plants that lack a complex structure like other plant types. This allows for easy gas exchange and absorption of water and nutrients directly through their thin layer of cells.
Moss leaves typically appear to have one to two cell layers. The outer layer consists of a single layer of cells, while some moss species may have a second layer of cells beneath it. This simple structure helps mosses efficiently absorb water and nutrients directly from their environment. Overall, moss leaves are relatively thin and lack the complexity found in higher plants.
To examine a moss leaf under a microscope, first place a small piece of the moss leaf on a microscope slide with a drop of water. Use a cover slip to gently press down on the moss leaf to prevent air bubbles. Adjust the focus on the microscope to observe the leaf's structure, including cells, chloroplasts, and any reproductive structures present.
Moss cells typically have multiple chloroplasts per cell, ranging from 10 to 100 chloroplasts per cell. This is because moss relies on photosynthesis for energy production, and having more chloroplasts increases the surface area for capturing sunlight.
The difference between a red blood cell and a leaf is that a leaf contains chlorophyll to make it green instead of haemoglobin that makes a red blood cell red. A leaf has many chloroplasts when a red blood cell does not but a red blood cell has a dimple. Both have a cell membrane but only a leaf has a cell wall. Hope this helps you.
