What else can I help you with?
What structure covers a root tip?
I am about sure it is called a root cap. :)
The protective layer of cells that covers the actively growing tip of a root?
The protective layer of cells that covers the actively growing tip of a root is called the root cap. Its function is to help guide the root through the soil and protect the delicate cells of the root tip as it pushes through the soil in search of water and nutrients.
Why is the root cap at the end of the root?
because it cup shaped mass of the cells that covers and protects a root tip
What is a root apical meristem protected by?
A root apical meristem is protected by a root cap as it pushes through the abrasive soil. The root cap also secretes a polysaccharide slime that lubricates the soil around the tip of the root.
What zones follows the zone of cell division in a root tip?
This is the organization of roots from the base closest to the plant itself to the tip of the root: zone of maturation - cells specialize to carry particular functions (root hairs present) zone of elongation - rows of newly produced cells elongate zone of cell division - new cells being produced root cap - covers the growing tip
What will happen if the root tip is injured?
What will happen if the root - tip is injured
What could be the function of the rootcap which is made up of parenchyma cells found at the root tip?
The root-cap performs the basic function of protecting the root tip. The root tip is the apex of the root and is very thin and delicate. It can get injury while going deep in the soil. Here the root cap, as a covering, protects the root tip and helps it to penetrate into the soil layer.
What protects the lower tip of a root?
A root cap
What part of the root produces a slimy substance?
The root cap, located at the tip of the root, produces a slimy substance called mucilage. This mucilage helps lubricate the root tip as it grows through the soil, protecting it from damage and aiding in nutrient uptake.
Death of root tip and shoot tip due to deficiency?
BORON
External parts of the roots?
Primary root- originates at germination stage from the radicle of the seed.Secondary root- arise from the primary root.root cap- envelope and protects the young roots.root hairs- ensure efficient absorption of nutrients............that's all........
What is a group of cell that protect the growing tip of a root?
Root cap.
