Question

what are cap cells? explain cap cells​

Answer 1

Cap cells are explained below :

- Cap cell is usually found in the area of the algae where filaments are formed and it's arranged in the order of Oedogoniales.

- They contain various caps of the particular cell walls situated at the anterior and.

- Due to the phenomenon of cell division it leads to the creation of rings within the new cell walls material which is just prior to the nuclear division.

Answer 2

Cap cells are found in algae oedogonium.

Explanation:

• In filaments of algae order oedogoniales, towards the upper end of some cells a ring like structure is present called cap or apical cap.

• The cell with this cap or apical cap is called cap cell.

• Number of caps on a cell in algae of order oedogoniales represent the number of cell division that involves the formation of rings of new cell wall material prior to nuclear division.

• And all the cell caps of vegetative filament in oedogonium can function as oogonial mother cell.
