Chloroplasts in leaves use sunlight for photosynthesis, producing carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water. Chloroplasts aren't found in roots that are primarily underground and don't receive sunlight.

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.


How can you tell the cell is from a leaf and not from a root?

Chloroplast


What is in a leaf cell but not in a root hair cell?

it is chloroplasm


Why don't root cell have chloroplast?

because they don't


What cell is smallest... stem or root or or leaf?

Usually the root, but it really depends on the plant.


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.


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 cell structure is found more often in leaf cells than in root cell?

Xylem


How can you tell the difference between a root cell and a leaf cell?

Root cells are typically specialized for absorption of water and nutrients from the soil, with elongated shapes and root hairs. Leaf cells, on the other hand, are specialized for photosynthesis and have a more flattened shape to maximize sunlight exposure. Stomata are also present in leaf cells for gas exchange, while they are absent in root cells.


Which instrument could best be used to transfer a chloroplast from an elodea cell into a root cell of a bean plant?

A micromanipulator or a fine needle could be used to carefully transfer a chloroplast from an elodea cell into a root cell of a bean plant. These instruments allow for precise manipulation at the cellular level to ensure successful transfer without damaging the cells.


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.
