Does meiosis take place in root tip cells?
No. Meosis is a reductional division that brings about the generation of gametes. Mitosis takes place in the root tip cells. The root tip of a healthy plant is growing rapidly and there is a requirement for many newly formed cells.
Compare an epithelial cell and a root hair cell?
Epithelial cells and root hair cells serve distinct functions and have different structures. Epithelial cells form protective layers covering surfaces and organs, characterized by tightly packed cells that regulate absorption and secretion. In contrast, root hair cells are specialized for nutrient and water absorption in plants; they have elongated projections to increase surface area and enhance uptake from the soil. While epithelial cells are involved in various bodily functions, root hair cells are specifically adapted for their role in the plant's root system.
What is the zone of rapid cell division that produces growth and is found primary root and stem tips at?
The zone of rapid cell division that produces growth is called the apical meristem, which is found at the primary root and stem tips. This region contains undifferentiated cells that continuously divide to produce new cells for plant growth and development.
What cells are found on roots?
Root cells include root hairs for water and nutrient absorption, epidermal cells for protection, cortex cells for storage, endodermal cells for regulating nutrient uptake, and vascular tissue cells for transport.
What tissue produces cells that add to the girth of the root?
The vascular cambium is the tissue responsible for producing cells that add to the girth of the root. It is a meristematic tissue located between the xylem and phloem in dicot plants. The cells produced by the vascular cambium differentiate into secondary xylem (wood) towards the inside and secondary phloem towards the outside, thus contributing to the increase in girth of the root.
Produces cells to cover the stem and root surfaces?
Cork Cambium

Growth tissue between xylem and phloem that produces additional xylem and phloem cells?
The dark center of a stem or root that is dead

Do root cells have chloroplast?
No, root cells do not have chloroplasts.
What is the primary growth of a root?
The very tip of the root is the root cap, a thimblelike cone of cells that protects the delicate, actively dividing cells of the apical meristem. The root's apical meristem has two roles: It replaces the cells of the root cap that are scraped away by the soil, and it produces the cells for primary growth. Cells produced during primary growth form three concentric cylinders of developing tissue (Figure 20-13). The outermost cylinder develops into the dermal tissue of the root. The middle cylinder-the bulk of the root tip-develops into the root's cortex (ground tissue). The innermost cylinder becomes the vascular tissue. -Exploring life, Biology Textbook

Root cells include root hairs for water and nutrient absorption, epidermal cells for protection, cortex cells for storage, endodermal cells for regulating nutrient uptake, and vascular tissue cells for transport.
Does root cells have cells walls?
Yes - root cells are plant cells and therefore have a cell wall.
What is a cube root and a square root?
Cube Root - The number that produces a given number when cubed Square Root - A number that produces a specified quantity when multiplied by itself: "7 is a square root of 49".
What is the root word of the word uncover?
The root word of "uncover" is "cover."
What is the difference in root hair cells and leaf cells?
root hair cells dont have chloroplasts
