Which organelles do mesophyll cells have more than root cells of a plant?
Do Onions have chloroplasts?
Do Onions have chloroplasts?
Root cells are found in the roots of a plant and are responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. Mesophyll cells, on the other hand, are found in the leaves and are responsible for photosynthesis.
Root cells have specialized structures, such as root hairs, that increase their surface area and allow for more efficient absorption of water and nutrients. Mesophyll cells have chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll and allow for the process of photosynthesis to occur.
No, root cells do not have chloroplasts and therefore cannot perform photosynthesis. Their main function is to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
Yes, while both types of cells have a cell wall, cell membrane, and cytoplasm, they have different structures that are specialized for their specific functions. For example, root cells have root hairs while mesophyll cells have chloroplasts.
Root cells absorb water and nutrients from the soil and transport them to the rest of the plant through the xylem. Mesophyll cells then use these resources to perform photosynthesis and produce glucose, which is then transported to other parts of the plant through the phloem. This allows for the plant to grow and produce food for itself.
