Some epidermal cells have specialized functions such as guard cells (stomata) or trichomes (hairs).
Epidermal cells are usually thin-walled, with small vacuoles and chloroplasts.
The epidermis is the outermost layer of cells that covers all plant organs.
Xylem transports water from roots to leaves through tubes called vessels.
Vascular bundles are composed of xylem and phloem, which transport water and nutrients throughout the plant.
The epidermis consists of one to several layers of closely packed parenchyma cells that form a continuous sheet covering all aboveground parts of the plant.
The outermost layer of the plant body is called the epidermis.
Phloem transports sugars made by photosynthesis from leaves to other parts of the plant.
Guard cells regulate stomatal opening and closing through changes in cell shape.
Stomata are openings on the surface of leaves that allow gas exchange between the leaf and atmosphere.
It provides protection against water loss, pathogens, and physical damage.
In some plants, there may be additional layers of cells beneath the epidermis, including subepidermal tissue and hypodermal tissue.
Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata based on environmental conditions like light intensity and humidity.
Stomata are openings on the surface of leaves that allow gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) to enter or exit the leaf.
Xylem transports water and minerals upwards from roots to shoots.
Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) to enter and exit the leaf.
Stomata are openings on the surface of leaves that allow gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide to enter or exit the leaf.
Trichomes are hairlike structures found on the surfaces of many plants.
Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata based on environmental conditions.
Collenchyma tissue provides support but can stretch when needed.
Cork cambium produces cork cells which form the protective bark on stems and roots.
Trichomes are hairlike structures found on the surfaces of plants, including leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits.
Palisade mesophyll cells contain chloroplasts and are responsible for photosynthesis.
Trichomes are hair-like structures found on the surfaces of plants.
Epidermal tissue can be found in roots as well.
Palisade mesophyll contains chloroplasts and is responsible for photosynthesis.
Epidermis is the outermost layer of plant tissue that protects against water loss and pathogens.
Palisade mesophyll cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis and are stacked closely together for maximum light absorption.
Meristematic tissue is undifferentiated and capable of dividing into new cells.
Spongy mesophyll cells have large air spaces that allow for gas exchange during photosynthesis.
Epidermis is the outermost layer of cells covering all above-ground parts of a plant.
Epidermal cells have waxy cuticles covering their walls, reducing water loss through transpiration.
Epidermis is the outermost layer of plant tissue that protects against pathogens and regulates gas exchange through stomata.
Parenchyma tissue is made up of thin-walled cells with large vacuoles and performs various functions including photosynthesis, storage, and protection.
The epidermis is the outermost layer of plant tissue, providing protection against water loss and pathogens.
The epidermis also contains specialized cells called guard cells that control the opening and closing of stomata.
Stomata are openings in the epidermis that control gas exchange between the leaf and atmosphere.
Stomata are openings in the epidermis that allow gas exchange between the plant and its environment.
Guard cells control the opening and closing of stomata based on environmental conditions such as light intensity and humidity.
Stomata are small openings found on the underside of leaves that allow gases to enter and exit the leaf.
