The cells in the middle of a carrot (vascular bundle) consist of xylem & phloem. Xylem are responsible for water transportation and phloem transports nutrients. These tissues are primarily made of sclerenchyma cells as well as parenchyma cells.

What is the name and function of the thicker layer of the cells next to the epidermis in the carrot?

The epidermis of a carrot is the outer part of the root. This part is usually what people peel off.


What to Carrot in concentrated sugar solution?

When a carrot is placed in a concentrated sugar solution, it undergoes a process called osmosis. Water inside the carrot cells moves out into the sugar solution, causing the carrot to lose moisture and become shriveled and soft. This happens because the concentration of solutes (sugar) outside the carrot is higher than inside, leading to a net movement of water out of the cells. As a result, the carrot can lose its crispness and become wilted.


When a carrot slice is placed in tap water for several hours why does it become very stiff?

When a carrot slice is placed in tap water, it absorbs the water through a process called osmosis. The water moves into the carrot cells, causing them to become turgid and swell, making the carrot slice stiff. This happens because the water pressure inside the cells increases, providing structural support to the carrot slice.


What is the function of the xylem and phloem cells in a carrot?

In a carrot, xylem cells are responsible for transporting water and essential minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, supporting its growth and health. Phloem cells, on the other hand, transport the products of photosynthesis, primarily sugars, from the leaves to the storage tissues, including the carrot's taproot. Together, these vascular tissues ensure the carrot receives the nutrients and water it needs for development and energy storage.

How many different kinds of cells can you see on a carrot slice?

On a carrot slice, you can see different types of cells such as epidermal cells, parenchyma cells, and vascular cells. Each type of cell has a specific function in the carrot's structure and function.


What happens to Carrot cells in salt water?

Carrot cells placed in salt water will lose water due to osmosis, causing them to shrink and become wilted. The high concentration of salt in the water creates a hypertonic environment, leading to water leaving the carrot cells to try to balance the salt concentration.


Are there cells in a carrot?

Yes. All complex plants and animals are composed of cells.

Are the plant and animal cells you observed prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Plant cells and animal cells are always eukaryotic.


Why does a carrot feel spongy after soaking in salt water?

This is due to the process of osmosis. The water in the cells of the carrot are trying to reach homeostasis with the salt water, so the water is flowing out of the cells. This results in cells that are limp and that then feel spongy.


What is responsible for the green shoulder of carrot?

If the top of the carrot (the tap root of the carrot plant) is exposed to sunlight, it will turn green because its cells will begin producing chlorophyll.
