Oscar and Lucinda meet in a tropical rain forest and fall in love, and he carves their initials into the bark of a tree. They never do get together, though. Ten years later, still heartbroken, Oscar searches for the tree. Given what you know about primary and secondary growth, will he find the carved initials higher relative to ground level? If he goes berserk and chops down the tree, what kinds of growth rings will he see?

Identify and describe these two meristems, explain what tissues they are responsible for producing (including their functions), and explain the direction of cell division in which those tissues are produced in relation to the epidermis. For the last part of this question referring to the direction of cell division, make sure to address why cell division is occurring in two different planes. Also, as part of your answer, name and explain the functions of the tissues from the center of the stem to the dermal layer, in order, for a stem conducting secondary growth.arrow_forward
