Concept explainers
a.
To explain: The difference between determinate growth and indeterminate growth.
Introduction: The land plants are multicellular and they belong to the kingdom Plantae. It can be distinguished to other living things by several features. The tissue present in most of the plants, which consist of undifferentiated cells is called a meristem. It gives rise to several plant organs and accountable for plant growth.
b.
To explain: The difference between primary and secondary growth.
Introduction: Meristematic cells are usually small and cuboidal with small vacuoles, large nuclei, and thin walls. There are three types of meristematic tissues in the plants, which include apical meristem, lateral meristem, and intercalary meristem. The meristematic cells are closely packed together in the absence of intercellular cavities.

- What is the positive and negative result in Physical Growth Requirements, temperature, osmotic pressure and pH level. With a brief explanation.arrow_forwardA. Explain one reason why a farmer or home gardener might want to use a commercial mycorrhizae product when growing plants. B. Describe something that would need consideration in order to produce a successful mycorrhizal product.arrow_forwardShow the sequence of secondary growth by drawing the row of cells from the boxed area below and labeling the vascular cambium cell (V), 5 xylem cells from oldest (X1) to youngest (X5), and 3 phloem cells (P1 to P3). Show what happens after growth continues by drawing and labeling a row with twice as many xylem and phloem cells. How does the vascular cambium’s location change? A pear has a hard texture but juicy. State two cells that give the characteristics? State the function of the transitional epithelium found in the mammalian urinogenital system. (i) Identify type of tissue lines the air sacs of the lungs. (ii) Explain how the tissue named in (i) adapted to its function.arrow_forward

If left untreated, the entire plant can die. From this information, what is mostly the main cause of the demise? a) The plants’ cells are unable to carry out aerobic respiration. b) The leaves are unable to manufacture enough sugar to maintain the health of the plant. c) The roots are unable to absorb enough water. d) The stems are unable to support the plant.arrow_forward
