What else can I help you with?
Can you see the whole trichomes under LPO?
Yes
How can trichomes affect the rate of transpiration of the leaves of some plants?
In windy areas trichomes reduce evaporation and keep the leaf moist. They also reflect solar radiation and heat.
How many cells comprise your trichome specimen?
The number of cells in a trichome specimen can vary widely depending on the type of trichome being examined. For example, simple trichomes may consist of just a few cells, while more complex types, such as glandular trichomes, can contain multiple specialized cell types. Generally, a single trichome can comprise anywhere from a few to several dozen cells. To get an accurate count, microscopic examination would be necessary.
Is the trichome septate?
Trichomes can be either septate or aseptate, depending on the plant species. Septate trichomes have internal divisions or cross-walls, while aseptate trichomes lack these structures and are continuous. The presence or absence of septation can influence the trichome's function, such as in the secretion of substances or structural support. Therefore, whether a trichome is septate depends on the specific type of trichome being examined.
What are the little hairs that a plant has around its stem?
The little hairs on a plant's stem are called trichomes. Trichomes can serve various functions such as protecting the plant from herbivores, reducing water loss through transpiration, or helping with light absorption.
Do all trees have trichomes?
Having trichomes in trees help in defense mechanism. All trees do not have trichomes.
What are the organ system in plant?
roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds and several types of appendages such as hairs, trichomes, spines, thorns etc.
What is the fuzzy outer coating found on some leaves called?
The fuzzy outer coating found on some leaves is called trichomes. Trichomes can serve various functions, such as protecting the plant from herbivores, reducing water loss, and reflecting sunlight.
What do you call the thing that stings you in a nettle?
Trichomes
What is the function of Trichomes?
Trichomes on plants serve multiple functions, including deterring herbivores with their sharp or toxic structures, reducing water loss through their waxy coating, and providing a barrier against UV radiation. Additionally, trichomes can trap and break down insects that come into contact with them.
Can you see the whole trichomes under LPO?
Yes
How can trichomes affect the rate of transpiration of the leaves of some plants?
In windy areas trichomes reduce evaporation and keep the leaf moist. They also reflect solar radiation and heat.
How do stinging nettle trichomes contribute to the plant's defense mechanism against herbivores?
Stinging nettle trichomes are tiny hairs on the plant that contain irritating chemicals. When touched, these trichomes break and release the chemicals, causing a stinging sensation. This defense mechanism deters herbivores from eating the plant, protecting it from being consumed.
What are trichomes and how do they function in plants?
Trichomes are small hair-like structures found on the surface of plants. They serve various functions such as protecting the plant from herbivores, reducing water loss, and helping with pollination.
What are three potential advantages of having trichomes?
Three potential advantages of having trichomes include protection against herbivores, reducing water loss through transpiration, and aiding in pollination by attracting pollinators.
Why were the cell stained on squash trichomes?
Cells in squash trichomes were stained to enhance visibility under a microscope, allowing for the observation of cellular structures and characteristics. Staining highlights specific components, such as cell walls or nuclei, making it easier to analyze the morphology and arrangement of cells. This technique is essential for studying plant anatomy and can provide insights into the function and development of trichomes.
When do lemon skunk flower?
8 weeks or 9 for extra resin and trichomes :)
