What are the similarities between xylem vessels and xylem fibers?
Fibre long and thin, vessel short and thick, fibre offers a structural support, xylem vessel transports water, both are dead cells both consist of strength offered lignin
Name one staple crop of India and the regions where its produced?
cotton and jute are the two main fibre crops of India.Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in aboll, or protective capsule, around the seeds of cotton plants of the genus Gossypium. The plant is a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas, Africa, and India. Cotton was independently domesticated in the Old and New Worlds. The fiber most often is spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathabletextile, which is the most widely used natural-fiber cloth in clothing today.Jute is one of the most affordable natural fibres and is second only to cotton in amount produced and variety of uses of vegetable fibres. Jute fibres are composed primarily of the plant materials cellulose (major component of plant fibre) and lignin (major components of wood fibre).Jute is a long, soft, shiny vegetable fibre that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. It is produced from plants in the genus Corchorus, which has been classified in the familyTiliaceae, or more recently in Malvaceae.
What are cellulose pectin hemicellulose and lignin?
Dietary fibers
What the the cell wall in plants made of?
Cellulose,Hemicellulose,Pectin in primary cellwall Suberin,Cutin,Lignin in secondary cellwall
What is the chemical that makes plant cell walls rigid?
A chemical substance called lignin hardens cell walls. Lignin is formed by removing water from sugars to create aromatic structures.
What is the main component of the cell wall of plants?
Cellulose, Hemicellulose and Lignin
What material is the cell composed of?
cell wall consists of middle lamella consists of calcium and magnessium pectate,primary wall of cellulose,hemicellulose and pectin,secondary wall of lignin and cellulose.
What is wood?
Wood is the stem of trees inside the bark or outer layer. Wood is 50% cellulose. Cellulose is the fibrous material that gives strength to the cell walls. These cell walls are bound together with hemicellulose and lignin. Dry wood is about 25% lignin and 20% hemicellulose. There are many different types of wood. Each type of wood comes from a species of tree, and has a slightly different cell arrangement and proportions of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. This combination gives the types of wood their characteristic strength, texture and colour.
What is a major chemical component of primary cell walls?
Plant cell wall:the major carbohydrates are cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin (lignin, xylan in secondary cell wall) Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan
Is wood an example of polymer?
Wood is actually a composite material composed of several polymers (e.g. cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin), assorted minerals, fatty acids, resin acids, waxes terpenes, etc. As a composite, wood is biologically analogous to fiberglass epoxy or carbon fiber epoxy synthetic composites, with cellulose providing the fibers and hemicellulose and lignin the binders.
Does the cell wall have a cellulose?
Yes - the main component of a plant cell wall is cellulose. The other main components are hemicellulose and pectin.
What are the components of wood?
cellulose ,lignin
What is an item that contains cellulose and lignin?
Hemp.
Is wood an element mixture or compound?
Wood is a mixture of many compounds, and those compounds are in turn composed of many elements. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the main compounds, and each of these compounds is mainly made from the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
