The protective layer of cells that covers the actively growing tip of a root?
root cap
Do dead xylem and phloem cells turn into cambium?
No, cambium is made up of actively dividing living cells.
Why are roots a good area for studying the cell cycle?
Not all parts of the plant are actively dividing. They have differentiated cells that may may be living or dead. only a small fractions of the cells are actively dividing. These cells are called as meristem. The tip of the roots are actively dividing and thus they are best suitable of studying mitosis.
On which layer of epidermis are guard cells found?
epidermis.
How many Epidermis cells do you lose every day?
I think none, because Epidermis cells are on leaves.
Are blast cells undifferentiated actively dividing cells?
yep :D
What layer of the epidermis contains the only cells the are capable of dividing?
stratum germinativum
The protective layer of cells that covers the actively growing tip of a root?
root cap
What is the function of dividing cells found at the base of epidermis?
The stratum basale (the bottom layer of cells in the epidermis) functions to provide a constant source of new cells to form the skin. This counterbalances the number of cells lost at the surface.
Do dead xylem and phloem cells turn into cambium?
No, cambium is made up of actively dividing living cells.
Where do New cells of the epidermis originate?
They originate in the deepest layer of epidermis, called stratum basale. The columnar cells of this deep layer are constantly dividing to produce new cells that move outward to undergo metamorphosis at different levels.
Which portion of the epidermis has actively reproducing cells?
The basal layer, also called the stratum germinativum is the most active part of the epidermis and the place where new cell growth takes place.

What kind of cells is the epidermis made of?
The epidermis consists of stratified squamous epithelium cells. These cells in the epidermis are dead cells surrounded by the protein keratin.
What are most cells of the epidermis?
The most abundant cells in the epidermis are keratinocytes.
Which of the following cell types are at least sensitive to ionizing radiation damage?
Cells that are actively dividing are most sensitive to radiation damage.
Does Cambium carry food down through plants?
No, cambium consists of actively dividing cells that are responsible for secondary growth in plants.
