Well because the elodea leaf is a plant cell the flexibility can be factored down to the support cell skeleton which is mad up of microtubles which have enough resistance and spring in them enabling them to allow the cell to hold their shape but allowing it to bend.
another factor can be of the medium in which the organelles reside in which is the cytoplasm (a starch fluid that transports things around with cytoplasmic streaming such as proteins the endoplasmic reticulum also helps in the moving of things through out the cell)
What else can I help you with?
Why does osmosis cause elodea leaf cells to shrink?
Due to plasmolysis
Which layer has the largest cells in elodea leaf?
The lower epidermis of the elodea leaf has the largest cell.
What happens to an elodea leaf when added a phenol red solution?
When an Elodea leaf is added to a phenol red solution, the leaf will release oxygen through photosynthesis. The oxygen will cause the phenol red solution to change color, indicating the presence of oxygen production.
Will the elodea leaf swells up if it's kept in 5 of saline water?
Yes, the elodea leaf will likely swell up in 5% saline water due to osmosis. The higher concentration of salt outside the leaf will cause water to move into the leaf cells, leading to an increase in turgor pressure and swelling.
What is the hypothesis of osmosis lab elodea leaf?
The hypothesis of an osmosis lab with an Elodea leaf could be that the Elodea leaf will lose water and shrink when placed in a hypertonic solution due to water moving out of the leaf cells by osmosis, causing the cells to become flaccid. Conversely, if the Elodea leaf is placed in a hypotonic solution, it may gain water, swell, and become turgid as water moves into the leaf cells via osmosis.
What domain does a elodea leaf belong in?
An Elodea leaf belongs in the domain Eukarya, as it is a complex, multicellular organism with cells that contain a true nucleus.
Does the elodea leaf and the onion both have vacuoles?
no
Is a Elodea a leaf or a root?
Elodea is a leafy aquatic plant. It is often used in aquariums. it has many leaves and can have roots.
Why couldn't you use an oak leaf instead of an elodea leaf while on the microscope?
becuase it is to thick
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.
Why didnt we stain the elodea leaf?
They are purple in color. So there is no need
What type of organism is an elodea?
Elodea is an aquatic plant commonly known as waterweed. It belongs to the genus Elodea within the family Hydrocharitaceae. Elodea is often used in biology classrooms for studying plant cells and photosynthesis.
