of the shoot apical meristem gets broken off due to bad weather or damage, what type of tree growth you expect to observe in the immediate future The tree would grow wider instead of taller. The tree would not show any growth but would stay healthy and alive. The tree roots would grow deeper within the soil, but no growth would occur above ground. The tree would grow taller instead of wider. The tree growth would be uneven in many different directions.

Figure 30.34 Which of the following statements is false? Negative water potential draws water into the root hairs. Cohesion and adhesion draw water up the xylem. Transpiration draws water from the leaf. Negative water potential draws water into the root hairs. Cohesion and adhesion draw water up the phloem. Transpiration draws water from the leaf. Water potential decreases from the roots to the top of the plant. Water enters the plants through root hairs and exits through stoma.
