Hardening of the cells is called sclerosis. This term is commonly used in medical contexts to describe the process of abnormal thickening, hardening, and scarring of tissues.
Melanocytes, which produce melanin for skin pigmentation, are found in human epidermal cells but not in leaf epidermal cells. Additionally, human epidermal cells contain structures like Langerhans cells for immune response, which are not present in leaf epidermal cells.
No, epidermal cells from petunia do not stain with phloroglucinol. Phloroglucinol is typically used to stain lignin in plant tissues, not epidermal cells. The stain mainly reacts with lignin, which is absent in the epidermal cells.
The stratum germinativum, also known as the basal layer of the epidermis, produces epidermal epithelial cells through a process called mitosis. In this layer, basal cells continuously divide and push older cells upwards toward the surface of the skin. As these cells migrate, they undergo a process of keratinization, eventually forming the outer protective layer of the skin. This regenerative process is essential for maintaining the integrity and health of the epidermis.
Stratum granulosum Once again, stratum granulosum is one of epidermal layers: not epidermal cells. My answer to this question is: Flattened cells of stratum granulosum that are going through keratinization process contain kerathyaline and lamellated granules.

Guard cells contain chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis, while other epidermal cells do not typically contain chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are important for the production of sugars and energy through the process of photosynthesis in guard cells.
Langerhans cells
Epidermal cells are supplied with nutrients from blood vessels in the
Merkel cells compose about 8% of the epidermal cells. These specialized cells are found in the deepest part of the epidermis and are involved in the sensation of touch.
Keratin is a protein responsible for the hardening process(keratinised) that cells undergo when they change from living cells with a nucleus to dead cells without a nucleus.
HIV mainly attacks cells in the immune system. I'm not aware of a major impact on skin (epidermal) cells.
Ependymal cells
The epidermal cells of an onion are located on the outermost layer of the onion bulb, forming a protective barrier.
Epidermal cells undergo a process called keratinization to produce nails. During keratinization, the epidermal cells in the nail matrix produce keratin, a tough protein that forms the structure of the nail plate. As these cells mature and move upwards, they become tightly packed and eventually form the hardened nail plate that we see.
