Biology - CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION 5 Flashcards
how is having many chloroplast a benefit of a palisade cell?
Absorb lots of light energy for photosynthesis
how is having many mitochondria a benefit for root hair cells?
More ATP production and more active transport of ions.
how is having carrier proteins in membrane a benefit of root hair cells?
Allows active transport to take place so we can have more ions and water being absorbed
how is having narrow air gaps between cells a benefit for palisade cells?
Allows CO2 in for photosynthesis
how is having a large surface area a benefit for root hair cells?
Allows it to absorb more water and ions
how is having a large vacuole a benefit to palisade cells?
To maintain pressure, giving a rigid structure. Pushes chloroplast to the edge of the cell so they are closer to absorb light energy
