Summary Introduction
Introduction: The type of meristematic tissue that is present in the sides of roots and stems as well as responsible for the secondary growth of plants is called lateral meristem. The action of lateral meristem is to increase the thickness of roots and stem. The two types of lateral meristems are vascular cambium and cork cambium.

Heartwood and sapwood consist of(A) bark.(B) periderm.(C) secondary xylem.(D) secondary phloem.
What are differences between the transport of materials in xylem and phloem?
Given that (a) xylem is located toward the upper epidermis in leaf veins and phloem is located toward the lower epidermis and (b) the vascular tissue of a leaf is continuous with that of the stem, suggest one possible arrangement of vascular tissues in the stem that might account for the arrangement of vascular tissue in the leaf.

- what are the difference between the transport of materials in xylem and phloem?arrow_forwardPhotosynthesis sustains plant growth, and inputs of sunlight sustain photosynthesis. Why, then, do seedlings that germinate in a fully darkened room grow taller than seedlings of the same species that germinate in full sun?arrow_forwardEach annual ring in a section of wood represents one year’s growth of (a) primary xylem (b) secondary xylem (c) primary xylem or secondary xylem in alternate years (d) primary phloem (e) secondary phloemarrow_forward
- Why does a layer of periderm offer only temporary protection? When the plant makes a new layer of cork cambium, does it make the new layer to the outer side of the failing periderm or to the inner side of it, deeper in thesecondary phloem?arrow_forwardEvery winter, the cohesion of water molecules in xylem is interrupted by ice formation. What do trees do in the spring that compensates for this problem?*arrow_forwardBecause secondary phloem is formed from the vascular cambium just as secondary xylem is, it too has an __________________________ system and a _____________________ system. Why do the size, shape, and number of phloem rays match those of xylem rays?arrow_forward
- If a plant is 250 years old, how many rings of Primary Xylem and how many rings of Secondary Xylem does the plant have?arrow_forwardWhich of the following forces make the movement of water through the xylem possible? * A. Cohesion and adhesion B. Transpiration C. Root pressure D. A and B E. A, B, and Carrow_forwardBut how are the two types of mesophyll involved? From what I understand, CO2 enters the stomata, and then the citric acid cycle of the mitochondia in the mesophyll use the carbon atoms do produce glucose, which then goes through phloem loading and it either used or stored. My question, I guess, is how exactly are the two types of mesophyll involved? Is only one used or are both used at different times in the production of the glucose?arrow_forward
- What Is The Difference Between Xylem And Phloem?arrow_forwardWhat is the function of xylem vessels? A. composed of dead lignified cells connected end to end B. allows the transport of water and minerals in the upward direction C. carries the products of photosynthesis in a bidirectional movement D. composed of sieve tubes that are closely associated with companion cells to facilitate movement of materialsarrow_forwardIn a cross-section of a tree, where are the oldest growth rings—in the outer region or nearer the pith? Where is the oldest secondary phloem—near the outside of the tree or near the cambium?arrow_forward
