Vascular plants have a vascular system. The vascular system is made up of vascular tissue which carries the water, nutrients, and other materials through the plant. The vascular tissue can carry these materials everywhere in the plant. Non vascular plants don't have these tissues, so the typically grow along the ground, where they have a cuticle, which is a layer that keeps the plant hydrated, and stomata, which are holes that allow air to travel through and out of the plant without losing much water.
What else can I help you with?
What does leaf cells do?
Leaf cells perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. They also regulate water and gas exchange through stomata, help support the structure of the leaf, and store nutrients for the plant.
What is the hypothesis of osmosis lab elodea leaf?
The hypothesis of an osmosis lab with an Elodea leaf could be that the Elodea leaf will lose water and shrink when placed in a hypertonic solution due to water moving out of the leaf cells by osmosis, causing the cells to become flaccid. Conversely, if the Elodea leaf is placed in a hypotonic solution, it may gain water, swell, and become turgid as water moves into the leaf cells via osmosis.
When the elodea leaf is moved from salt solution n placed back in water what happens to the cells?
When you deal with problems like this, you need to consider diffusion and osmosis. In this case, you would refer to diffusion, which is the movement of water across a membrane from high concentrations to low concentrations (to try to balance the concentrations). First consider what happens to the cells when you place the elodea leaf in the salt solution; the water in the cells tries to balance the high concentration of salt (sodium chloride) in the surrounding solution, so the water leaves the leaf, thus the cells shrink. Now when you put the elodea leaf into regular water again, there is a higher concentration of water in the surrounding environment compared to inside the leaf's cells, so in attempt to balance concentrations, water goes INTO the cells, thus the cells in the elodea leaf swell (expand).
A plant part that is the food factory of the plant?
The leaves are known as the food factory of the plant as they contain chloroplasts (within the cells of the leaf) which convert carbon dioxide, water and sunlight into simple glucose molecules - or food for the plant
Are vacuoles in distilled water elodea leaf cells hypotonic isotonic?
If the vacuoles in Elodea leaf cells are placed in distilled water, they become hypotonic. Distilled water has a lower solute concentration compared to the vacuoles of the cells, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, leading to swelling and eventual bursting of the cells.
What part of a plant carry food and water?
the steam carries the nutrients to the leaf that produces the oxygen we need
What is the purpose of leaf veins?
each vein contains xylem to bring water and minerals containing sap into the leaf and each leaf has phloem that carries sap of manufactured food ut of the leaf.
How does a leaf make a very efficient organ for photosynthesis to take place?
Leaf is an important organ in a plant, for it is here that the plant makes its food.The leaf cells are highly specialized to carry out the process of photosynthesis.It digests food, assimilates, excretes water (transpiration), carries on respiration, & sends its surplus food to other parts of the plant.
Is leaf made of cells?
A typical leaf has an outer (epidermal) layer, pores (stomato) surrounded by a pair of guard cells, middle tissue (mesophyll) where photosynthesis occurs and a vascular system that carries water and nutrients.
What carrys water from the roots to the leaves?
What carries the water and minerals from root to the leaf are known as something called vascular bundles. These consist of 2 which are the xylem and the phloem. Both of these transport either food up then leaf (phloem) and the xylem carries the water up the stem. Cheers
What carry water from the roots to the leaves?
What carries the water and minerals from root to the leaf are known as something called vascular bundles. These consist of 2 which are the xylem and the phloem. Both of these transport either food up then leaf (phloem) and the xylem carries the water up the stem. Cheers
How does a vein carry both water to the leaf cells and dissolved food away from the leaf?
Because of the phloem or tube like structures
What does leaf cells do?
Leaf cells perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. They also regulate water and gas exchange through stomata, help support the structure of the leaf, and store nutrients for the plant.
What are veins in a leaf called?
There are two tissues within those veins, xylem and phloem. Xylem carries water from the roots up to the cells in the leaf. Phloem carries the food produced in the leaf to the rest of the plant. Bottom line is the leaf has veins for the same reason we have arteries and veins, to move stuff around to where we need it.
What carries food materials away from the leaf?
The Phloem. ~ As it is the two way transport system in a leaf.
Is a leaf made of a cells?
A typical leaf has an outer (epidermal) layer, pores (stomato) surrounded by a pair of guard cells, middle tissue (mesophyll) where photosynthesis occurs and a vascular system that carries water and nutrients.
What is the main vein of a leaf?
