Summary Introduction

To diagram:

The internal structure of a dicot stem after primary growth, labeling and describing the function of the epidermis, cortex, pith, xylem, and phloem.

Introduction:

The stem is the main part of the plant that connects the photosynthetic leaves and roots. The primary function of the stem is the translocation of nutrients. The secondary growth of the stem is responsible for the support and protection of the plant.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The changes that occur in the structure after the secondary growth.

Diagram the internal structure of a dicot root after primary growth, labeling and describing the function of epidermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, xylem, and phloem.
Show 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.
Describe the short-distance transport of water into the xylem. Use the terms root hairs, endodermis, and Casparian strip.
