Epidermal cells have thin, flexible cell walls that allow for gas exchange and protection of the underlying tissues, while palisade cells, found in the mesophyll of leaves, have thicker and more rigid walls to provide structural support and maximize light absorption for photosynthesis. Additionally, palisade cells are tightly packed to optimize light capture, whereas epidermal cells are more loosely arranged and often coated with a waxy cuticle to reduce water loss. Overall, the differences in wall structure reflect their distinct functions in plant physiology.

Why do plant cells need energy from the sun?

Plants need energy from the sun for food, they do this through photosynthesis which is the cells of the leaves (palisade cells, and inside those, chloroplasts), gathering the suns energy and changing it into glucose. the plant can then use this glucose for food. :)


How do the life functions of cells and organ systems compare?

cells are specialized for a specific function, they work together to make tissues. Those tissues work together to form organs. Those organs work together to form organ systems


Where in the leaf is chloroplasts found?

technically yes... they are found every where. There are cells inside the plant that are stacked on top of each other. Those cells are everywhere in the plant, including the leaves and stem. The cells contain the chloroplasts so technically yes they are located in the leaf, but are also located throughout the plant.


What plates should be compared to determine if any genetic transformation has occured?

To determine if any genetic transformation has occurred, you should compare plates containing the selective medium (which allows only transformed cells to grow) to control plates that do not contain the selection agent. Additionally, compare plates with transformed cells against those with non-transformed cells to confirm the presence of the expected phenotype. This comparison can help identify any differences in growth or characteristics indicative of successful transformation.


Are specialized cells made by stem cells?

Yes, specialized cells are made from stem cells through a process called differentiation. Stem cells have the ability to develop into different types of cells, such as muscle cells, nerve cells, or blood cells, depending on the signals they receive from their environment. This process allows stem cells to contribute to the development, growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues in the body.

What does palisade tissue do?

Palisade cells show various adaptations: first, their cylindrical shape, which allows maximum absorption of light by chloroplasts. Second, these cells produce carbohydrates in greater quantities than are needed by each cell; these carbohydrates are fed into a wide variety of metabolic pathways and are vital to the functioning of the plant. by anonymous98 mail me for more

Do plant cells specialize in the same way animal cells do?

Plant cells do specialize but not in the same way as animal cells. Animal cells have specialized cells such as nerve cells, reproductive cells or muscle cells etc. Plant cells do not have any of those. But Plant cells have other specialized cells such as photosynthesis cells, epidermal cells etc. Both Animal and Plant cells have specialized cells that perform a specific function to keep the cell/organism alive.

How is damaged skin repaired?

Actually it is not that difficult for the skin to repair itself when only the epidermis is damaged. It's when the dermis is injured that the process becomes more complicated. It is difficult to only injure the epidermis, but it happens. The epidermis is avascular, meaning it does not contain blood vessels and therefore does not bleed. Epidermal wounds usually involve only minor damage to the superficial epidermal cells although the center of the wound could extend slightly into the dermis. These types of wounds include minor skin abrasions, where a portion of the skin has been scraped away, and minor burns. In response to an epidermal injury, basal cells from the deepest layer of the epidermis --the stratum basale-- surrounding the wound break off from the basement membrane (epidermal-dermal junction). The cells then enlarge and migrate across the wound. The cells continue to migrate until they meet cells migrating from the opposite side of the wound. Migration of the cells stops when each cell is finally in contact with other epidermal cells on all sides. As the basal epidermal cells migrate, a hormone called epidermal growth factor stimulates basal cells to divide and replace those who have left to fill in the wound. The relocated basal epidermis cells divide to build new strata, thus thickening the new epidermis. Viola, the skin is repaired!
