Question
Chapter 21, Problem 8WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The tissues that a person will encounter while driving a metal spike from the outermost bark layer to the center of the tree’s trunk, and the meristem type that produced these tissues.
Introduction:
The growth of plant occurs at meristem. Meristems are the region that undergoes mitotic cell division and allows the plant to grow, replaces damaged parts, and responds to environmental change.

- A plant that you are studying has sluggish wound healing abilities as well as an inability to store significant food reserves. You would like to enhance its ability to store food reserves. If you could enhance the growth of a tissue to improve this property, which tissue would you enhance? -Lateral meristem. -Periderm. -Parenchyma of the stem cortex. -Root apical meristem.arrow_forwardWhat might be an advantage of having the apical meristem near to the ground?arrow_forwardObserve the root system of a plant with root nodules. If you don’t have these plants at home or at your backyard, you may look up for their pictures in any references. Draw the root system and describe the nodules by noting the location, nature of attachment, shape, and their relative sizes.arrow_forward
- If 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.arrow_forwardExamine the winter twig in the picture below of a Horse Chestnut tree, Aesculus hippocastanum. w.m. Draw a sketch of this twig and label all the following structures: terminal bud, lateral bud, terminal bud scale scars (show several sets of terminal bud scars that are visible on the main stem), leaf scars, vascular bundle scarsarrow_forwardWhy does a layer of periderm offer only temporary protection?
