How is a palisade cell specialised? |
Palisade cells are cylindrical shaped, so they pack tightly in the upper part of the leaf. They contain many chloroplasts to court as much energy from light as possible for photosynthesis. They have a large vacuole, which helps to keep the cell and leaf structure rigid. |

How is root hair cell specialised for its function. |
- this is found in the epithelium near the root tip, where there is no thickening. -The hair is a fine protrusion from the cell out into the soil. This provides a large surface area to volume to absorb water and dissolved minerals from the soil. The cells have a thin layer of the Cell wall to make it easier for water absorption. -they contain mitochondria to help supply energy for active transport of minerals from the soil into the cell. |
