BEST ANSWER:
They absorb Water and Mineral Salts OR Nitrates from the soil
They obtain these as they have an enlarged surface area because of the protruding hairs.These are useful to absorb more water into the root.They have no chloroplasts or storage structures,but do have some organelles that enable them to release energy so that minerals salts can also be actively absorbed into the cell from the soil.
What else can I help you with?
Function of root hair cell?
To absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
What is the adaptation of the hair root cell?
To speed up osmosis root hair cells have a large surface area. Root hair cells absorb water and minerals from surrounding soil.
What is on the root that actually absorbs water and minerals?
Root hair cells absorb ions (including water molecules),
Are root hair cells living or dead?
Root hair cells are living cells. They are specialized cells found in plant roots that absorb water and nutrients from the soil. These cells have extensions (root hairs) that increase the surface area for absorption.
Which process most directly enables sperm cells to move from place to place and enables root hair cells to absorb minerals by active transport?
Flagellar movement enables sperm cells to move from place to place, while active transport processes enable root hair cells to absorb minerals.
What has a large surface area to help the cells absorb water quickly?
Root hair cell
What is the job of the root hair cell?
Root hair cell are dermal cells found on the roots of many vascular plants.Their job is to provide a greater surface area for water absorption.As transpiration pulls water up to the leaves, root hair cells have to absorb large amounts of water. The process by which root dermal cells take in water is osmosis. In order to diffuse large amounts of water, a cell obviously needs a large surface area. The root hair cells provide this needed extra surface area to absorb large amounts of water.
Do root hair cells have a membrane?
Yes root hair cells do have organelles. They have a nucleus, vacuole, cytoplasm and cell wall.
What are Root Hair Cells used for on a plant?
they provide a good surface area to absorb water and minerals from the soil
What is the difference between a plant's root cell and a leaf cell?
1) Root hair cells don't have chloroplasts as they are under the ground,there is no access of light to them and they do not photosynthesize.Leaf cells do have chloroplasts. 2) Root hair cells have along narrow extension to absorb minerals,ions and water.Leaf cells d not have this extension as this is not their function.
What is the difference in root hair cells and leaf cells?
root hair cells dont have chloroplasts
How many cells are there in a root hair?
there are about thousands of root hairs
