Oil droplets in plants serve several important functions, primarily related to energy storage and protection. They store lipids, which provide a concentrated source of energy for growth and development, especially during seed germination. Additionally, these oil droplets can help in the formation of protective barriers, aiding in the plant's defense against pathogens and environmental stress. Overall, they play a crucial role in maintaining the plant's metabolic processes and overall health.
What else can I help you with?
When you put oil and water together why dont the globs of fat float to the top?
When you mix oil and water, the oil forms droplets known as emulsions. These droplets remain suspended in the water due to their differing densities and the lack of a strong attraction between oil and water molecules, which prevents the oil from floating to the top. Additionally, emulsifiers can help stabilize the mixture by surrounding the oil droplets and preventing them from coalescing.
How detergent changes an oil water suspension into an emulsion?
Oil and water do not mix when detergent is added. What really happens is that (in the usual case) the detergent (which has "oil-like" and "water-like" parts to each molecule) causes the oil to disperse through the water in tiny droplets which have the detergent on the surface of the droplets, making them much more stable than tiny droplets of oil would be in water. The detergent is usually charged, which makes the droplets repel each other, preventing the tiny oil droplets from reuniting into larger droplets, which is what happens if you vigorously shake an oil water mixture, like salad dressing - that's why oil and vinegar salad dressing has to be used right after preparation. Oil, water, and detergent is still not a true mixture, since the oil and the water are not really "mixed" in the true sense of the word, but they appear mixed to the eye since the oil particles are too small to be seen with the naked eye. There is one more requirement for this apparent "mixing" after adding detergent: there has to be a LOT more water or a LOT more oil in the mixture. You can't make an apparent mixture of a 50:50 blend of oil and water by adding detergent, for example. This means that you can have tiny droplets of water surrounded by detergent in a large amount of oil as well as the more usual case outlined above. That is called a "reverse emulsion" while the more common case above is a "simple emulsion." It's also the reason why detergent is effective to clean clothes. It "emulsifies" the oils (which soiled clothes are contaminated with) allowing them to be flushed away. Zentrails
A liquid preparation which mixes fine droplets of an oil in water such as castor oil?
An emulsion is a liquid preparation where fine droplets of one immiscible liquid (such as oil like castor oil) are dispersed in another liquid (like water) with the help of an emulsifying agent to prevent separation. This allows for the two liquids to mix uniformly and form a stable mixture.
What sort of mixture is produced when oil is released in water?
When oil is released in water, it forms an emulsion. An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible liquids where one is dispersed in the other in the form of tiny droplets. In this case, the oil forms droplets that are dispersed in the water.
Will plant make food if you put oil?
The plant will die
Can crude oil droplets be found in a animal cell?
in plant biology
What causes the motion of tiny droplets of oil in diluted milk?
The motion of tiny oil droplets in diluted milk is due to Brownian motion, which results from collisions with surrounding molecules. This random motion causes the oil droplets to disperse evenly throughout the milk.
What are two things that form droplets?
Water condensation on a cold surface and oil in a pan when cooking can form droplets.

What will happen if olive oil is added to water?
the olive oil will form into droplets and not mix with the water
What will happen if you mix oil and water and shake it up?
First of all you will see an emulsion of very tiny droplets of water and of oil. Gradually these tiny droplets will touch and combine with each other. Ultimately the oil droplets rise to the top because they are less dense than water. The water drops meanwhile are joining together and sinking below the oil. Finally the oil and water will have separated.
How is fat water soluble made?
Fat cannot be made water soluble. However by using an emulsifier you can get a mostly stable mixture of either oil droplets in water or water droplets in oil.
How will you show that transpiration has occurred in a plant?
You can cover a plant with a polythene bag and keep for sometime and observe water droplets.
How do you get tar sand out of the ground?
The oil sands are dug out of the ground with huge shovels and dumped in ...droplets to merge in to bigger water droplets so they can be separated out.
What are the differences between oil in water and water in oil emulsions?
Oil in water emulsions have oil droplets dispersed in water, while water in oil emulsions have water droplets dispersed in oil. The main difference lies in the continuous phase, with oil being the continuous phase in oil in water emulsions and water being the continuous phase in water in oil emulsions. This affects the stability, appearance, and properties of the emulsions.
Is oil palm a non-flowering plant?
No, oil palm is a flowering plant. It produces small flowers that develop into fruits containing oil-rich seeds. The oil palm is a monocotyledonous plant, belonging to the Arecaceae family.
