Epidermal cells are supplied with nutrients from what blood cells?

Cells in the blood do not provide nutrients to the other cells of the body. The nutrients are in the blood plasma (liquid). These nutrient diffuse through the vessel wall and travel to the bodies cells in the interstitial fluid (the fluid around individual cells). The epidermis does not have blood vessel running through it, so the nutrient must pass from the dermis layer of cells.

Do epidermal cells from petunia stain with phloroglucinol?

No, epidermal cells from petunia do not stain with phloroglucinol. Phloroglucinol is typically used to stain lignin in plant tissues, not epidermal cells. The stain mainly reacts with lignin, which is absent in the epidermal cells.


Why do the epidermal cells have had there edges folded over?

The folds on epidermal cells, called microvilli, increase the cell's surface area for absorption and secretion. This increased surface area allows for more efficient exchange of molecules such as nutrients and waste products with the external environment.
