Question

Why do bulliform cells become flaccid?

Answer 1

Bulliform cells:

1. Bulliform cells are a type of thin-walled cells that are commonly present in the epidermis of monocots, e.g, grass.
2. When bulliform cells absorb water completely, they become turbid, causing the leaf surface to become exposed.
3. Bulliform cells shrink due to water stress, this process causes the leaves to bend inwards to reduce water loss.
