Why is high surface area to volume ratio important to fungus?
Fungi make their food via absorption, and a large surface area makes nutrient absorption extremely efficient.
How long is each side in a square that the area is 2 feet?
root 2 root 2 * root 2 = 2 2 = area of the square.
What is the area of a square that has a side length of the square root of 44?
The area of square is : 1936.0
How can you find the perimeter of a square if you know the area?
You square-root the area
How can you find the length of a side on a square if you know the square root?
The square root of what? If you take the square root of the area, the answer will be the length of the side. If the area is, for example, in square meters, the length of a side will be in meters.
Thin walled extensions of root epidermis that increase surface area for absorption?
root hair
How is a root hair cell adatped to its job?
It has a large surface area for maximum absorption.
How do root hairs enable a plant to take in more water?
Root hairs greatly increase the surface area available to the root for water absorption. The greater the surface area, the more water that can be reached at one time.
What are the advantages of a root hair cell?
Roots with root hairs on them can penetrate the soil better. Also, root hairs increase the surface area of a root allowing faster absorption of water and minerals.
How does plant root structure maximize the amount of water that can be taken in by the roots?
The root hairs present below the root cap and meristematic zone are thin walled elongated structures made essentially to absorb water from the soil capillaries by endo-osmosis. Numerous root hairs have manifold area for absorption which helps plant to increase water absorption.
How the presence of root hair cells on root enables the efficient absorption of water and minerals?
They develop a cytoplasmic hair-like elongation which increases its surface area for more absorption. It also has a large number of mitochondria which provides energy needed for the active uptake of minerals.
How the presence of hair root cell on root enable the efficient absorption of water and minerals?
They develop a cytoplasmic hair-like elongation which increases its surface area for more absorption. It also has a large number of mitochondria which provides energy needed for the active uptake of minerals.
Why does the root need root hairs for the uptake of water and minerals?
Because it increases the surface area of which the roots can absorb water allowing it to absorb more water than it can with root hairs.
How is a root hair adapted for its function?
it is layered and it grows, it helps the hair cell when providing a greater surface area for water absorption
What tissue is responsible for water absorption in roots?
epithelial tissue includes protection, secretion, absorption, and filtration
Which part of a plant is specialized for anchorage and absorption?
Plant root is specialized for anchorage and absorption.
What structure increase surface area for absorption of nutrients?
Microvilli, villi, plicae circulares, if choosing just one i would go with microvilli because the tremendously increase the surface area for absorption in the absorptive cell
