To review:
The distance from the center where the dormant eggs would be located after a span of two years.
Introduction:
The secondary growth of the plants includes the division of the vascular cambium and the cork cambium. The cork cambium present in vascular plants, a lateral meristem producing cells internally and externally by tangential divisions, is responsible for secondary growth of plants. The vascular cambium is a tissue present in plants between xylem and phloem and produces secondary xylem on the ring’s inside and secondary phloem on the ring’s outside separating the primary xylem and phloem apart. Both of them are involved in the growth in the plant in terms of the increase in the girth of the plants.

- Below is a series of pictures of the stem (x.s.) of a sunflower, Helianthus sp. Note that it shows both a young stem and older stem. young 100x (.s.) older 100x (x.s.)

- Which of the following is not correct concerning plant xylem? The fluid (sap) in the xylem transports sperm and eggs throughout the plant. The fluid (sap) in the xylem transports water and ions. The fluid (sap) of the xylem moves from the roots toward the leaves of the plant. The xylem is composed of tubular cells that run throughout the stems and leaves of vascular plants.arrow_forwardPrimary xylem... RIGHT WRONG 1°) is a tissue only made up of live cells 2°) has a centrifugal differentiation in the root 3°) is a tissue present in the root 4°) is only found in woody plants O O O O O O O Oarrow_forwardAnother issue for these trees is fire. Giant redwood trees are very adapted to tolerate fire. The mature trees have thick bark which helps them survive most fires. Younger trees are still at risk. The seeds can remain dormant in cones for many years (estimated 20) and germinate best after the cone is exposed to fire. However, highintensity fires (hot temperatures) are risky for seeds and trees of all ages. What are two things you could do to try and mitigate (reduce) the risk of fire damage but still allow for good seed germination in forests?arrow_forward

Which statement best describes this phenomenon? * downward growth of roots – positive response to gravity ; upward growth of stems – negative response to gravity downward growth of roots – negative response to gravity ; upward growth of stems – positive response to gravity downward growth of roots – positive response to gravity ; upward growth of stems – positive response to gravity No answer downward growth of roots – negative response to gravity; upward growth of stems – negative response to gravityarrow_forwardSketch side by side two daughter cells formed after mitosis of a meristematic cell in the vascular cambium of a eudicot stem. Label the cell formed toward the interior of the stem a meristematic cell. Should the daughter cellformed toward the outside be labeled primary xylem, primary phloem, secondary xylem, or secondary phloem?arrow_forward
