How can you describe the similar cells that make up the make up epidermis tissue in the leaf and how other tissues have different shapes of cells?

The epidermis tissue in leaves is typically made up of flat, closely packed cells called pavement cells that help with gas exchange and protect the leaf from pathogens. Other tissues in plants may have different shapes of cells depending on their functions, such as elongated cells in xylem for water transport, or irregularly shaped cells in the spongy mesophyll for photosynthesis. These different cell shapes allow various tissues to perform their specific roles effectively in the plant.


Why are muscle nerve and nerve cells different shapes?

Muscle cells are elongated and cylindrical in shape to allow for contraction and movement. Nerve cells, or neurons, have a unique branched structure with dendrites and axons to transmit electrical signals over long distances in the body. These specialized shapes help muscle cells generate force and nerve cells transmit information efficiently.


Do the cells in many-celled organism often have different sizes and shapes?

With cells, the rule of thumb is, structure defines function. Different cells throughout the body perform different functions. To perform these functions, they need different shapes. They all have the same DNA, but different "blueprints" are activated depending on where they are in the body.


Why do cells have different shapes and appearance?

Cells have different shapes and appearances based on their specialized functions within the organism. For example, nerve cells have long extensions to transmit electrical signals, while red blood cells are disc-shaped to maximize oxygen transport. The cell's structure and shape are determined by its internal components and external environment to efficiently carry out its specific role in the body.


Do cells have a shape?

No. They can vary depending on the plant, how much room it has and what it needs and where. The cells stay the same and the functions do but have different shapes. They mostly consist of a cell wall, a cell membrane, a nucleus, a vacuole, mitochondria and cytoplasm. There are more parts but they are the main ones.

Can cells be different sixes and shapes?

Yes cells can be different sizes and shapes. There are also 2 different types of cells Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. The difference is that Prokaryotic are single cellar and also are bacteria cells. Eukaryotic cells are multi cellar and also are animal and plant cells.

How do cells in plants have different shapes and jobs?

Cells in plants have different shapes and functions due to their specialized structures and organelles. For example, parenchyma cells are thin-walled and function in photosynthesis, while xylem cells are elongated and involved in transporting water. These specialized shapes and functions allow plant cells to perform various tasks necessary for growth, development, and survival in different parts of the plant.
