Orchids do not grow in soil- their roots are frequently in the air, attaching them to other things. Where most plant roots are hidden from light, orchid roots are exposed to the light.

Does a root hair cell chloroplasts?

No it doesn't


What kind of cell has a cell wall but not chloroplasts?

root cells in plants


Does a root cell have a chloroplast?

yes, roots are apart of a plant. All plant cells have chloroplasts and therefore root cells have chloroplasts.


Name a type of plant cell that may not have chloroplasts?

Chloroplasts need sunlight for development. However, there are plants that do not have chloroplasts and therefore, do not need sunlight. Some of these plants include rhizomes, tubers, and root crops. Window leaf plants and parasitic plants also do not have chloroplasts.


What typical plant cell organelle would a root cell have less of than a leaf?

A root cell would typically have less chloroplasts than a leaf cell. This is because chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, which is more critical in leaf cells due to their role in capturing sunlight energy for food production. Root cells primarily focus on water and nutrient absorption, so they have fewer chloroplasts.


How would you know if a cell was a plant cell and not a root cell?

Root cells are plant cells, but they do not contain chloroplasts like leaf cells.


What type of root system does a Orchids use?

Orchids have a fibrous root system. Orchids are monocotyledons and monocots only have fibrous root systems. (NOT chicken roots....-_-)


What does a palisade cell have that a root hair cell does not?

The main function of the palisade cell if for photosynthesis because it has alot of chloroplact so it is useless if it is found in the roots where it has no job there. Palisade cells are found on the top part of the leaf to get as much sunlight as possible.


Why does a leaf cell have a chloroplast and the root cell doesn't?

Chloroplasts in leaves use sunlight for photosynthesis, producing carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water. Chloroplasts aren't found in roots that are primarily underground and don't receive sunlight.


What is in a leaf cell but not a root hair cell?

it is chloroplasm


How can you tell that photosynthesis can not take place in a root cell?

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, which are typically found in the leaves. Root cells do not contain chloroplasts and are not exposed to sunlight, so photosynthesis cannot take place in a root cell. Roots primarily function in absorption of water and nutrients from the soil.


What is a difference in structure in a plant root cell and a leaf cell with a brief expanation?

A plant root cell does not have chloroplasts whereas a leaf cell has chloroplasts. This is because the roots are away from the light and need not to perform photosynthesis. On the other hand leaves are above the ground attached to the stem branches and perform photosynthsis in sunlight.
