Which is a protective layer of cells is it cortex b. xylem c. phloem d. cambium e. epidermis?

The epidermis is the protective layer of cells in plants. It is the outermost layer of cells in the plant tissue that helps protect against water loss, pathogens, and mechanical damage.


In older woody plants the epidermis of the stem is replaced by what tissue?

In older woody plants, the epidermis of the stem is replaced by periderm, which includes tissues such as cork cambium, cork cells, and phelloderm. Periderm helps protect the stem and replaces the functions of the epidermis as the plant matures and its stems thicken.


Is the waxy layer thicker or thinner than the epidermis?

The waxy layer, called the cuticle, is usually thinner than the epidermis in most plant leaves. It functions to reduce water loss and protect the plant from external factors such as pests and pathogens.


What type of plant cell lack chlorophyll?

Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Most prokaryotic cells also do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are always present in plant cells.


In what type of cells do choloroplast take place?

Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells. They contain the green pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight. The chloroplasts use the sunlight energy to make food (sugar) for the plant. Chloroplasts are found mainly in the leaf cells in plants. Cells in the top half of the leaf, called palisade cells, have many chloroplasts. Cells in the bottom half of the leaf, called spongy cells, have fewer chloroplasts. Not all plant cells contain chloroplasts. For example cells inside the stem, and root cells, usually lack chloroplasts. Also the 'skin' cells (epidermis) on the leaves do not contain chloropasts.

What of an animal is like an epidermis of a plant?

The epidermis of a plant is similar to the skin of an animal in that it acts as a protective barrier. It helps to prevent water loss, regulate gas exchange, and protect against pathogens. Just as the skin of an animal is an important part of their immune system, the epidermis of a plant plays a similar role in defense against environmental stresses.
