diversity in plant cells

palisade cells
within leaves and well-developed for photosynthesis
1 of 12
palisade cells are well-developed for photosynthesis because:
they are long and cylindrical, so they pack closely together with only a small space between for air circulation where carbon dioxide diffusion occurs.
2 of 12
palisade cells are well-developed for photosynthesis because:
they have a large vacuole so the chloroplasts are nearer to the surface, reducing diffuson distance.
3 of 12
palisade cells are well-developed for photosynthesis because:
many chloroplasts
4 of 12
palisade cells are well-developed for photosynthesis because:
they contain cytoskeleton threads and motor proteins, which move the chloroplasts nearer or further from the surface.

guard cells
pairs of specialised cells within the layer of the lower epidermis taht contain chloroplasts.
6 of 12
guard cells
light energy is used to generate ATP; ATP used to actively pump in K+ ions lowering the cell water potential; water then enters by osmosis making the cell swell; stomata enlarges; as the stomata opens it allows air to enter; gaseous exchange occurs.
7 of 12
root hair cells
epidermal cells on the outer layer of young plant roots
8 of 12
root hair cells
the hair-like projections increases the SA for absorption of water and mineral ions from the soil
9 of 12
root hair cells
mineral ions are actively transported into root hair cells, lowering the water potential in them and cause water to follow by osmosis
10 of 12
root hair cells
the root hair cells have special carrier proteins in the plasma membrane to actively transport the mineral ions in
11 of 12
root hair cells
they will also produce ATP needed for the active transport.
