Which layer has the largest cells in elodea leaf?
The lower epidermis of the elodea leaf has the largest cell.
What happens to the cells of an elodea leaf when mounted on 10 percent salt solution?
When an elodea leaf is mounted on a 10 percent salt solution, the cells of the leaf will lose water through osmosis. This will cause the cells to shrink and the leaf to become flaccid. The high salt concentration outside the cells will create a hypertonic environment, leading to water moving out of the cells to try to balance the concentration of solutes.
What happe to the rate of cyclosis in the elodea leaf upon exposure to light?
The rate of cyclosis in an Elodea leaf increases upon exposure to light. This is because light provides the energy needed for photosynthesis, which drives the movement of organelles within the cell. The increased cyclosis helps to distribute nutrients and chloroplasts throughout the cell to optimize photosynthesis.
What causes the elodea cells to be flexible?
Well because the elodea leaf is a plant cell the flexibility can be factored down to the support cell skeleton which is mad up of microtubles which have enough resistance and spring in them enabling them to allow the cell to hold their shape but allowing it to bend. another factor can be of the medium in which the organelles reside in which is the cytoplasm (a starch fluid that transports things around with cytoplasmic streaming such as proteins the endoplasmic reticulum also helps in the moving of things through out the cell)
Is a Elodea a leaf or a root?
Elodea is a leafy aquatic plant. It is often used in aquariums. it has many leaves and can have roots.
What is the three dimensional shape of an elodea leaf cell?
Rectangular or Box-Like
Which cell structure was visible when elodea leaf cell wet mount was examined with the compound light microscope?
The cell structure visible in an Elodea leaf cell wet mount when examined with a compound light microscope is the chloroplast. These are the green organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, giving them their characteristic color.
Which layer has the largest cells in elodea leaf?
The lower epidermis of the elodea leaf has the largest cell.
What are the sizes of cheek epithelial cells and elodea leaf cells?
The human epithelial cells are thick and boxlike whereas elodea cells are thin and platelike. The cells of elodea are rigid and rectangular in shape.
What is the definition of elodea leaf?
An Elodea Cell is a multi-celled cell. It has a cell wall, ploraplats, and Cytoplasm. It also moves and grows. It is an underwater plant with grass-like leaves.
What are the observable characteristics of an Elodea leaf when viewed under a microscope?
When an Elodea leaf is viewed under a microscope, observable characteristics include the presence of chloroplasts, cell walls, and a distinct cell structure with a central vacuole. The chloroplasts appear as green structures within the cells, and the cell walls are visible as thin, rigid boundaries surrounding each cell. The cells are typically rectangular in shape and contain a large central vacuole, which may appear as a clear space within the cell.
Why do you stain an elodea leaf when observing cells?
because it is already green when you look at it so if you stain it, say with methylene blue, the color will change and you will not be able to recognize some of the structures in the cell like you would without it being stained.
What cause the elodea leaf to be flexible?
Well because the elodea leaf is a plant cell the flexibility can be factored down to the support cell skeleton which is mad up of microtubles which have enough resistance and spring in them enabling them to allow the cell to hold their shape but allowing it to bend. another factor can be of the medium in which the organelles reside in which is the cytoplasm (a starch fluid that transports things around with cytoplasmic streaming such as proteins the endoplasmic reticulum also helps in the moving of things through out the cell)
What organelles are in the ELODEA LEAF cells that makes it different from a animal cell?
Elodea leaf cells have chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis, a process that converts light energy into chemical energy. This is a unique organelle not found in animal cells. The central vacuole in Elodea leaf cells helps maintain turgor pressure, providing rigidity to the cell and aiding in photosynthesis, another feature not typically found in animal cells.
What happens to the cells of an elodea leaf when mounted on 10 percent salt solution?
When an elodea leaf is mounted on a 10 percent salt solution, the cells of the leaf will lose water through osmosis. This will cause the cells to shrink and the leaf to become flaccid. The high salt concentration outside the cells will create a hypertonic environment, leading to water moving out of the cells to try to balance the concentration of solutes.
What causes the elodea leaf cells to be flexible?
Elodea have a more rigid shape. Elodea cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and are square shaped. Animal Cells are round, don't have cell walls just a membrane, and because they are heterotrophic they don't have chloroplasts.
What part of the leaf cell helps keep the shape of the cell?
The cell wall helps keep the shape of the cell.
