How would you know if a cell was a plant cell and not a root cell?
Root cells are plant cells, but they do not contain chloroplasts like leaf cells.
Which part of cell is called kitchen of cell?
Chloroplast is known as the kitchen of cell not Mitochondria. Chloroplast have a pigment called chlorophyll and they are involved in the photosynthesis of food that's why known as kitchen of cell.
What typical plant cell organelle would a root cell have less of than a leaf?

What are the similarities between root hair cell and red blood cell?

How can you tell the cell is from a leaf and not from a root?
Chloroplast
Does a root cell of a plant have chloroplast in the cell?
No.it is not found on root cells,you can only see it in leaf cells
Would you expect that there would be more chloroplasts in a leaf cell or in a root cell?
B. Leaf cell. They are more open to sunlight. More reliant on chloroplast energy.
What is the difference between a leaf cell and root hair cell?
Leaves' cells are made to absorb sunlight and produce sugar for the plant. Roots' cells are made to absorb water.
What is the didfference between a plant root cell and a leaf cell?
three reasons why a root hair cell different is different from a leaf
What is in a leaf cell but not in a root hair cell?

What does a palisade cell have that a root hair cell does not?
The main function of the palisade cell if for photosynthesis because it has alot of chloroplact so it is useless if it is found in the roots where it has no job there. Palisade cells are found on the top part of the leaf to get as much sunlight as possible.
How can you tell the difference between a root cell and a leaf cell?
A Root cell doesn't have any Chloroplasts on them where as leaf cells do. Leaf cells need sunlight which is absorbed into the cells of the leaf: this job is done by the chloroplasts present in the cells, but when the roots are present under the ground, the cells do not need sunlight. hope u got Ur answer.
What cell is smallest... stem or root or or leaf?

How would you know if a cell was a plant cell and not a root cell?
