Question

What is the difference between cells in leaves v. roots?

Answer 1

Cells in leaves, known as mesophyll cells, are specialized for photosynthesis and contain chloroplasts. They have a larger surface area to absorb more sunlight and are responsible for producing food for the plant. On the other hand, cells in roots, known as root hair cells, are responsible for absorbing water and minerals from the soil. They have long extensions, called root hairs, that increase their surface area for efficient absorption.
