Plant organs

    • Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata to control water loss and prevent excessive evaporation from plants.
    • Stomata are openings on the surface of leaves, stems, and other plant structures that allow gas exchange between the atmosphere and internal tissues.
    • Root hair cells increase the surface area available for absorption by extending thin projections called root hairs.
    • Plant roots have different functions such as anchoring the plant, absorbing nutrients and water, and producing hormones.
    • The epidermis is the outermost layer of cells that covers all plant parts.
    • Stomatal density varies among plant species, with some having more than others.
    • Some leaves have specialized structures called trichomes that cover their surface and reduce transpiration by decreasing air movement around them.
    • The number of guard cells per stoma can also vary between different parts of a leaf or even within one leaf.
    • The guard cell is responsible for controlling the size of the pore through which gases can pass into or out of the leaf.
    • The epidermis is a single layer of specialized cells covering the outer surfaces of plant parts such as roots, stems, and leaves.
    • Palisade mesophyll cells are located just below the upper epidermis of leaves and contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
    • Epidermal cells have various functions including protection against pathogens, regulation of gas exchange through stomata, and absorption of water and minerals through root hairs.
    • Leaves are the primary site of photosynthesis and contain chloroplasts which convert light energy into chemical energy.
    • Guard cells are located at the edge of stomata on both sides of the opening.
    • Leaves are modified to form spines, thorns, tendrils, and scales.
    • Epidermal tissue is composed of dead cells arranged in layers or sheets covering the surfaces of plant organs.
    • Guard cells are responsible for opening and closing stomata to regulate gas exchange and prevent excessive water loss from plants.
    • Trichomes protect against insect herbivores and pathogens, reduce water loss through transpiration, and aid in pollination.
    • Trichomes can also protect plants from insect herbivores or pathogens.
    • Leaves are specialized structures found in vascular plants that serve various purposes including photosynthesis, transpiration, respiration, and protection against environmental stresses.
    • Trichomes may function in protection against insect herbivores, water conservation, and photosynthesis.
    • Epidermal cells can be specialized into guard cells or trichomes (hair-like structures).
    • They contain chloroplasts which convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
    • If the guard cells lose turgor pressure, they pull away from each other, closing the stomata.
    • When the guard cells become turgid (swollen), they push against each other to open the stomata.
    • Epidermal cells are usually thin-walled and contain chloroplasts to carry out photosynthesis.
    • Cuticle is an impermeable waxy coating that protects the leaf's surface from desiccation and pathogens.
    • Leaves are important photosynthetic organs found on most plants.
    • Guard cells surround the stoma and control its size by changing shape.
    • Stomatal density varies among species and is influenced by factors such as temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, and light intensity.
    • Palisade mesophyll is located directly beneath the upper epidermis and contains chloroplast-rich palisade cells oriented perpendicularly to the surface.
    • Stomata are small openings in the leaf epidermis that allow gas exchange between the atmosphere and internal tissues.
    • The epidermis is made up of one to several layers of tightly packed parenchymatous cells with thickened walls containing cutin.
    • Stomata are small openings in the epidermis that allow gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen to enter and exit the leaf.
    • The epidermis is the outermost layer of plant tissue and consists of dead cells with cuticles on their surface to prevent water loss.
    • Mesophyll tissues consist of palisade mesophyll and spongy mesophyll.
    • Stomatal complexes consist of two guard cells surrounding an opening called a stoma.
    • The epidermis is the outermost layer of plant tissue and consists of dead cells with waxy cuticles on their surfaces.
    • Cuticles protect leaves from drying out and reduce evaporation.
    • Guard cells have thicker cell walls than adjacent epidermal cells.
