Biological stains used for plants?
Common biological stains used for plant studies include iodine solution for starch detection, safranin for staining cell walls and nuclei, and toluidine blue for highlighting lignified cell walls. These stains help researchers visualize and study cellular structures and processes in plants.
What structural material is used in the cell walls of plants?
Cellulose is the main structural material used in the cell walls of plants. It is a complex carbohydrate polymer made of repeating units of glucose molecules. Cellulose provides strength and rigidity to plant cell walls, allowing them to maintain their shape and structure.
What does a xylem cell do?
Xylem cells carry water and nutrients from the roots to other parts of a plant.
Why do plants have cell walls and animal cells don't?
Plants have cell walls made of cellulose to provide structural support and protection, as they do not have skeletons like animals. Animal cells do not have cell walls because they rely on other structures like bones and muscles for support and protection. Additionally, animal cells must be more flexible to perform specialized functions like movement.
Which cell helps in gas exchange in plants?
The main cell responsible for gas exchange in plants is the stomatal cell. Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves and stems that are formed by two guard cells. The stomatal cells regulate the exchange of gases, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, in and out of the plant through these openings.
Why can plants be used to make paper?
The cell walls of plants are made of a sugar polymer called cellulose. Frequently this cellulose is formed into fibers to strengthen the plant and if the plant is taken and these cellulose fibers extracted and washed, they then then be precipitated out of solution as a mat. When dry this mat is paper.
What job has a xylem cell?
it is used for plants
How do plants store glucose that is to be used at a later time?
Plants use glucose in 5 ways: They store it as fats and oils (lipids) in plant seeds They use it to make cellulose to strengthen cell walls They use it to make amino acids for proteins They store it as starch They use it as a reactant of respiration
What is used in a plants structure and growth?
Cell division is essential for growth in plants
What are the applications of Aquashield in hydroponics?
AquaShield can be used to strengthen plants' root systems before transplanting, improving the stability of and survivability of transplanted plants grown using hydroponics.
Does soap kill plants when used as a pesticide?
Soap, when used as a pesticide, can harm plants by disrupting their cell membranes and causing damage. However, it is not typically lethal to plants when used in appropriate concentrations.
What product of photosynthesis is used as food by plants and the animals that eat them?
cell wall
How are lipids used in plants?
Plants need lipids/fats to help make up the double layer of the cell membrane.
Why does a cell need a cell wall and a cell membrane?
Well, only plants have cell walls, and they are used for support and protection. Cell Membranes do the same thing, but they also regulate what enters and exits the cell.
What is cell therapy used for?
Cell therapy has been used successfully to rebuild damaged cartilage in joints, repair spinal cord injuries, strengthen a weakened immune system, treat autoimmune diseases such as AIDS, and help patients with neurological disorders.
Is chloroplast found in animal cell and plants cell?
Plant cells. they are used for photosynthesis.
What polysaccharides is used for structure in plants?
It is simply the cell wall. It is made of cellulose, other polysaccharides, and protein.
