(Help!) Compare the plant leaf cell to the root leaf cell. What are the similarities and differences you observed?

answers:
JazSinc say: This is from a lab exercise that you should have performed. No one else can tell you what you saw.
What you might have seen (depending on which cells you were observing):
o Both cells had a cell wall.
o Both cells had a central vacuole. In the leaf cell it was more obvious because that's an area without chloroplasts in it.
o Both cells were vaguely box-shaped (rectangular prism) with the root cell being more like a cube and the leaf cell being more elongated
o The chloroplasts were readily observed in the leaf cell, and it looked like they were being stirred around ("cyclosis"). I did not observe any chloroplasts, nor cylosis, in the root cell.
o After a bit of staining, I could see that some of the root cells were in the process of mitosis. I did not see this in the leaf cells, and I concluded that the particular bunch of leaf cells I was observing did not include meristem tissue.
