What is Pavement cell?

Pavement cell is a type of cell found in plant epidermis that are closely arranged to form a continuous layer, providing protection and minimizing water loss. These cells have a flattened shape and are involved in maintaining the structural integrity of the leaf surface.


Where does air and water vapor cross the epidermis at?

Air and water vapor enter and exit through the stomata, tiny pores found on the surface of leaves, stems, and other plant organs. These openings are surrounded by specialized cells that can open and close to regulate gas exchange and water loss.


What process allows carbon dioxide to move into the cells of plant leaves?

Carbon dioxide enters plant cells through small pores called stomata on the surface of leaves. The stomata open to allow carbon dioxide to diffuse into the leaf for photosynthesis, and close to regulate water loss through transpiration.


What are the parts of the elodea leaf and what are the functions of the parts?

The main parts of an Elodea leaf are the cuticle (protective outer layer), epidermis (outer layer of cells), palisade layer (primary site of photosynthesis), spongy mesophyll layer (site of gas exchange), and stomata (pores for gas exchange). The cuticle protects the leaf, the epidermis provides structure, the palisade layer helps in photosynthesis, the spongy mesophyll layer aids in gas exchange, and stomata regulate gas exchange.


Air and water vapor cross the epidermis of a plant via?

Oh honey, let me break it down for you. Air and water vapor strut their stuff through tiny openings called stomata on a plant's epidermis. It's like a VIP entrance for gases to get in and out of the plant, keeping it hydrated and happy. So next time you see a leaf, just remember it's working those stomata to stay fabulous.

How many Epidermis cells do you lose every day?

I think none, because Epidermis cells are on leaves.


Which epidermis is closely adhered to the underlying tissue?

upper epidermis


Outermost layer of cells that covers roots stems leaves and flower parts?

The Epidermis


On which layer of epidermis are guard cells found?

Guard cells are found on the epidermis of plant leaves, specifically within the lower epidermis. These specialized cells control the opening and closing of stomata to regulate gas exchange and water loss in the plant.


Are epithelial cells packed closely together?

Yes.


Does epithelium consists of closely packed cells?

Yes, epithelium consists of closely packed cells that form the protective covering of internal and external surfaces of the body. These cells are tightly packed together with minimal extracellular matrix between them.


What are two types of mesophyll?

The two types of mesophyll in plant leaves are palisade mesophyll and spongy mesophyll. Palisade mesophyll is located closer to the upper epidermis and consists of closely packed cylindrical cells that are specialized for photosynthesis. Spongy mesophyll is located beneath the palisade layer and consists of loosely arranged cells with air spaces for gas exchange and moisture retention.


Why are the upper and lower epidermis layers made of tightly packed cells?

It helps prevent water loss


What is the layer of cells that covers roots stems leaves and flower parts?

epidermis


What do you call a group of paliside cells?

A group of palisade cells is commonly referred to as a "palisade mesophyll." This layer of tightly packed cells is located beneath the upper epidermis of leaves and is primarily responsible for photosynthesis due to its high chlorophyll content. The arrangement of these cells maximizes light absorption for the plant.


What type of cells are closely packed with barely any space between cells?

Most organs - and muscle.


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.
