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.
Why do you use the onion for cell sample and not the leaf?
Onions are used for cell samples because their cells are large, clear, and have distinct nuclei, making them easy to observe under a microscope. The size and clarity of onion cells make them ideal for studying cell structure and function. In contrast, leaf cells may be smaller and contain more chloroplasts, which can make it harder to observe specific structures in the cell.
Which kind of cell has more clearly defined boundaries?
Plant cells have more clearly defined boundaries due to their rigid cell walls made of cellulose. Animal cells have a flexible cell membrane but lack a rigid cell wall, making their boundaries less distinct in comparison.
What organism is NOT made up of 1 or more eukaryotic cells?
No.
What are the three parts to the cell theory?
one, all organisms are made of one or more cells. two, the cell is the basic unit of organization in organisms. three, all cell are made of other cells!
