How does the shape of the root hair cell help to do its job?
The shape helps the root hair cell to move around the body, the nucleus helps the root hair cell, the root hair cell is about the same shape as a nerve cell
What is the function of the cell wall in a root hair cell?
The specialized cells help to facilitate diffusion of substances into the plant (especially mineral ions and water). However the whole root system serves this process through acrive transport of the mineral ions which creates a diffusion gradient.
Why do root's epiblema and root hair absorb ions by spending energy?
The reason root's epiblema and root hair absorbs ions by spending energy is to transport the salts, or ions, from lower concentration areas to higher concentration areas so that the necessary water is being released throughout the plant.
Does a root hair cell contain nucleus?
yes root hair cell do have a nucleus.
What is the Size of a root hair cell?
The root hair single cell is 80 - 1500um long. Its diameter is 5-17um. The root hair cell life is 2-3 weeks.
Which structure of a root hair cell controls the uptake of nitrate ions into the cell?
I think it is the cell membrane since it is only partially permeable. :)
What is the function of root hair cell?
The function of the root hair cell in plant is to absorb water and mineral salts.
How does the shape of the root hair cell help to do its job?
The shape helps the root hair cell to move around the body, the nucleus helps the root hair cell, the root hair cell is about the same shape as a nerve cell
What is function of root hair cell?
It absorbes water and mineral ions from the soilI hope this helps you
What is a similarity between a plant root hair cell and an animal small intestine cell?
Both cell linings does active transport. Epitelial cells in root active transport nutrient such as ions into the root whereas epithelium cells in the small intestines.
Why does water move from the soil into the root hair cell?
osmosis
What is the function of the cell wall in a root hair cell?

What 3 chemicals do plants absorb from the soil?
Nitrate ions (NO3)Building proteins and growthPoor growth and yellow leavesAll amino acids contain nitrogen. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein.Phosphate ions (PO4)Respiration and growthPoor root growth and discoloured leavesA component of DNA molecules and cell membranesPotassium ions (K+)Respiration and photosynthesisPoor flower and fruit growth, discoloured leavesMust be present for photosynthesis and respiration enzymes to workMagnesium ions (Mg2+)PhotosynthesisYellow leavesChlorophyll molecules contain magnesium ions. It's the magnesium that makes chlorophyll green
Why nitrate ions are important in plant leaf cell?
Nitrogen is the basic food of green plants - their "growth hormone" almost. A foliage plant not getting enough nitrogen will be spindly, yellow and sickly. Plentyh of nitrogen - lush green growth. But the N must be balanced with Potassium and Phosphorus for best growth.
How is a plant root adapted for taking in water and mineral ions?
roots take in water from the root hair cell. they are adapted to this because the soil contains water and that is where they get their first batch of water
What is a root cell?
a root cell is a plant cell
How do mineral salts enter the root cell?
Minerals enter the root cells through a process called diffusion.Minerals are found dissolved the soil around the root. When minerals dissolve in water they break up into ions. These ions are very small and enter through the holes in the cell membrane.The absorption of mineral salts take place through the root hairs.When the mineral concentration is higher in the soil than in the cells of the root hair then the minerals pass through the cell membrane -from a higher concentration of minerals in the soiltoa lower concentration of minerals in the root hair cells.This process is called diffusion and does not require energy.
