Structure and Function of Root Hair Cells
Root hair cells are specialized for the absorption of water and minerals, featuring a large surface area, a permanent vacuole, and numerous mitochondria for active transport.

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Adaptations of Root Hair Cells for Absorption
Root Hair Cells: Cells on the root surface of plants that absorb water and mineral ions necessary for photosynthesis and survival. Permanent Vacuole: A large central vacuole in root hair cells that speeds up osmosis. Mitochondria: Organelles in root hair cells that provide energy for active transport of minerals.

Role of Xylem in Support and Transport
Xylem, composed of dead cells reinforced with lignin, forms hollow tubes that support the plant and transport water and minerals from roots to leaves.

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Structural Adaptations of Xylem
Xylem: Plant tissue involved in the transport of water and minerals from roots to leaves, also providing structural support. Lignin: A complex organic compound that strengthens the cell walls of xylem, aiding in support and forming hollow tubes for transport.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Slide 9 - Open vraag

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.
Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Slide 10 - Open vraag

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.
Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

Slide 11 - Open vraag

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
