Question
Chapter 35, Problem 1A
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Plants are mainly multicellular, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of kingdom Plantae. Plant growth is an outcome of cell, new cell enlargement and their differentiation into different tissue types. These growth processes are accompanied by an increase in the dry weight of growing parts and a permanent change in the size.

3) When she was a young child, Mélanie had a favourite swing hanging from the lower branch of
a tree. Over time, Mélanie grew older, and eventually moved out of her parent's house. Now,
when Mélanie returns to visit her parents, the tree is much larger than it was when Mélanie was
just a young child, but her swing is still hangingg at approximately the same height. Using
concepts and terms related to plant growth seen in class, briefly explain how this phenomenon is
possible.

Define the following terms ?
A.) root hair
B.) root cap
Observe 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.
