Question
Chapter 36.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason why lateral roots must be produced in the way shown in the given figure.
Introduction: Roots are very important for plants as they help in the absorption of water and nutrients from the soil, in anchoring the plant and in storing nutrients. Different types of root systems are seen in different plants due to adaptations to the different environment.

Which of the following statements are true for root endodermis?I. Endodermal cells constitute the innermost layer of root cortex and surrond the vascular cylinder (xylem and phloem).
II. Endodermal wall is covered with waxy layer of casparian strip which blocks apoplastic transfer of minerals.III. Due to presence of casparian strip, water and minerals can only eneter the vascular cylinder if they will be able to cross the plasma membrane of an endodermal cell.
from the viewpoint of the plant, can you suggest a practical reason for branch roots originate internally instead of at the surface?
Roots have localized growth; the only parts of the root that become longer are the root apical meristem and the __________________ of ___________________, a region only a few millimeters long within which the cells undergo division and expansion.

The outermost covering of the cylinder( the skin of the carrot root) is made up of dermal tissue, particularly the periderm. Beneath the periderm is a layer called the cortex which is made up of parenchyma, a type of ground tissue. Underneath the cortex is vascular cylinder which contains the ploem(the outer layer of the cylinder) and the xylem (the central core of the cylinder, the lightly colored part). Between the ploem and the xylem where the vascular cambium is located (a layer that is only one cell thick) a lateral meristematic tissue. plsssss help me sketch this and label it, thank you.arrow_forwardMonocot root differs from dicot root in having: A. open vascular bundles B. scattered vascular bundles C. well developed pith D. radially arranged vascular bundlesarrow_forward
