Epidermal cells are crucial to a leaf as they serve as a protective barrier, safeguarding internal tissues from physical damage, pathogens, and excessive water loss. They also play a role in gas exchange through structures called stomata, which allow carbon dioxide to enter for photosynthesis while regulating water vapor release. Additionally, epidermal cells often contain a waxy cuticle that further prevents water loss and helps maintain the leaf's overall health and functionality.

What cellular structures are found in the epidermal cells of humans but not in epidermal cell of leaves?
Melanocytes, which produce melanin for skin pigmentation, are found in human epidermal cells but not in leaf epidermal cells. Additionally, human epidermal cells contain structures like Langerhans cells for immune response, which are not present in leaf epidermal cells.
Do epidermal cells from petunia stain with phloroglucinol?
No, epidermal cells from petunia do not stain with phloroglucinol. Phloroglucinol is typically used to stain lignin in plant tissues, not epidermal cells. The stain mainly reacts with lignin, which is absent in the epidermal cells.
What cell structure is in the guard cells but not in other epidermal cells?
Guard cells contain chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis, while other epidermal cells do not typically contain chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are important for the production of sugars and energy through the process of photosynthesis in guard cells.
What are epidermal dendritic cells?
Langerhans cells
Epidermal cells are supplied with nutrients from blood vessels located in the?

What epidermal cell compose about 8 percent epidermal cells?
Merkel cells compose about 8% of the epidermal cells. These specialized cells are found in the deepest part of the epidermis and are involved in the sensation of touch.
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
Where are the epidermal cells of an onion located?
The epidermal cells of an onion are located on the outermost layer of the onion bulb, forming a protective barrier.
Why is keratinocytesthe most important of the epidermal cells because why?
they produce a fibrous protein that gives the skin its protective properties
What is the scientific name for skin cells?
Epidermal cells.
Where do epidermal cells get their nutrients?
Epidermal cells receive nutrients primarily through diffusion from the underlying dermis layer, where blood vessels supply nutrients. Additionally, some epidermal cells can also absorb nutrients from sweat and sebum produced by skin glands.
