Summary Introduction
To determine:
The relation of the statement “Roots typically have many fine branches that thread among the grains of soil, providing a large surface area that maximizes contact with mineral bearing water in the soil” to the theme.

I. Look for representative specimens of herbaceous dicot and monocot stem. The external parts that can be observed are nodes, internodes, leaf scar, lenticel, and buds (axillary and terminal). Examine and compare their external morphology by answering the questions below:
1.. What is the function of the lenticels? Do all stems have lenticels?
2. How can you differentiate a monocot plant from a dicot plant just by looking at the stem?
3. What advantage would herbaceous stems have over woody stems?
4. What advantage would woody stems have over herbaceous stems?
II. Compare the internal anatomy of stems of xerophytes, mesophytes, and hydrophytes.
Relate differences to the nature/habit of the different plants.
Determine the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices below.
I. All plant tissue arises from the activity of meristems. Meristems are analogous to stem cells in animals.;
II. Primary growth arises at lateral meristems in the tips of young shoots and roots.;
III. Secondary growth arises at apical meristems in older stems and roots.;
IV. Vascular cambium produces secondary xylem (wood) on its inner surface, and secondary phloem on its outer surface. Cork cambium gives rise to cork, which is part of periderm.
All statements are true.
Only one (1) statement is true.
Only two (2) statements are true.
None of the statements is true.
Only three (3) statements are true.
The primary meristems of monocots are located in a different area of the plant body than
those found in eudicots. Where are monocot meristems located and what is it about this
arrangement that make them (grasses) more suitable for lawns than eudicots?
