What kind of cells undergo mitosis?
nohing
Extensions of root epidermis used to increase absorption are called?
Root Hairs
What Is The Role Of Meristems In Plants?
Meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells in mitosis.
What part of the root are root hairs?
Root hairs are lateral extensions of a single cell and only rarely branched, they are invisible to the naked eye. They are found only in the region of maturation of the root.A root hair, the rhizoid of a vascular plant, is a tubular outgrowth of a trichoblast, a hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root. As they are lateral extensions of a single cell and only rarely branched, they are invisible to the naked eye. They are found only in the region of maturation of the root. A root hair, the rhizoid of a vascular plant, is a tubular outgrowth of a trichoblast, a hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root.
What are the examples of stem and root tubers?
Root Tubers are different than Stem Tubers. Root Tubers include: Dahlias, Sweet Potatoes (Kumara - Ipomaea battatas), Cassava and Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) Root Tubers are modified roots so do not have "eyes" (buds) like a Potato which is a. . . .Stem Tubers include: Potatoes, New Zealand Yam or Oca (Oxalis tuberosa), Tuberous Begonias, Cyclamen, and Mignonette Vine (Anredera cordifolia) and they are modified stems so do have "eyes" (buds) which are axillary (side) buds and can become vegetative shoots.Stem Tubers also generally go green (like a spud) if left in the light but Root Tubers generally don't (no chloroplasts in modified root.)
Why is region of meristmatic activity is important in roots?
Meristems bring about the growth or buds and production of a plant, from its beginnings as a root.
Cells produced by the root and shoot tip meristems become the?
meristematic cells
What is the root word in gardening?
Root can be a verb or a noun. As a verb, root refers to a new plant (generally a cutting) producing extensions, called roots. Roots are the extensions at the bottom of the plants that are planted, in some sort of medium whether it is the ground, pots, beds, or sand. They are the part of the plant that absorbs the water and nutrients that the plant needs for survival.
In plant cells where does mitosis occur most frequently?
Most often mitosis occurs near the apical meristem which is located in the main root tip, at the auxiliary buds and at the very top of the main stem. Mitosis does not occur at the meristems, but usually very close behind them
Where is a meristem often found?
An apical meristem is of each root tip is a dividing zone that forms new cells in two directions. The meristem produces new cells in front of itself that become a loose fitting rootcap. Layers of cells in this cap are continually brushed off as the root elongates between soil particles. The cap is perpetually renewed by tiers od cells being formed and pushed down from the meristem.

What special extensions of a root's epidermal cells absorb water and minerals?
root hairs
Thin walled extensions of root epidermis that increase surface area for absorption?
root hair
What is found in stem that is not found in root?
Nodes and axillary buds
What Is The Role Of Meristems In Plants?
Meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells in mitosis.
Why do the root cells look different from the leaf cells of a plant?
Root cells do not have chlorophyll that gives the green color to the leaf. Root cells have hair extensions called root hairs. Leaves do not have these extensions. Root cells do not have pores. Leaves have pores that are guarded by two cells that are responsible for increasing and decreasing the size of the pores.
