Since Elodea are freshwater plants they need cell walls to prevent water, which moves into the cell, from bursting the cell. The cell wall provides cellular rigidity so that the cell won't burst in response to osmosis there will just be a build of of pressure that is maintained by the cell wall. If the pressure is too great the cells will explode and the Elodea will DIE.

How is a cheek cell and elodea cell different?

A cheek cell is a eukaryotic animal cell that contains a nucleus and organelles, whereas an elodea cell is a eukaryotic plant cell with a cell wall and chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Additionally, elodea cells may have a large central vacuole for support and storage.


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.


Where is the plasma membrane located of the elodea cell?

The plasma membrane of an Elodea cell is located just beneath the cell wall. It acts as a barrier, regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.


Where are the chloroplasts located within the elodea cell?

Why doesn't cytolysis happen in elodea?

Cytolysis does not happen in the elodea because of the concentration of its cells. The concentration that surrounds the cells are usually less concentrated and therefore prevent cytolysis from occurring.


Does an elodea cell have an organism?

An elodea cell does not have a organsim because it is NOT an organism.


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.


What structure could you see in the Elodea cells?

In Elodea cells, you could see structures such as the cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplasts (containing chlorophyll for photosynthesis), and a central vacuole. These structures are typical of plant cells and contribute to their function in photosynthesis and support.

What are the differences and similarities between onion and elodea cells?

similarities: cell wall present, cytoplasm, both eukaryote. difrences: elodea cell smaller vacuoles chloroplasts present unicellular onion cell: large vacuoles multicellular


Why do onion and elodea cells have a more definite shape than the human cheek cells?

Elodea and onion cells have more consistent shapes than human epithelial cells because they have cell walls. The human epithelial cells do not have defined cell walls.
