Answer to Question #145593 in Zoology for MG

Question

4. How do endodermal cells differ from the other root cells?

Answer 1

The endodermis is not highly differentiated in stems and usually contains secondary starch. In the roots, the radial and transverse walls of the endodermal cells have bandlike thickenings containing suberin and lignin. The cells involved in the exchange of molecules remain thin-walled.
