A plant that you are studying has sluggish wound healing abilities as well as an inability to store significant food reserves. You would like to enhance its ability to store food reserves. If you could enhance the growth of a tissue to improve this property, which tissue would you enhance? -Lateral meristem. -Periderm. -Parenchyma of the stem cortex. -Root apical meristem.

What are the flaws ? Meristematic tissue is the site of mitosis and therefore growth for a plant. Apical meristem is found at the tips of roots and shoots and allows them to produce flowers. Lateral meristem is found along the length of the plant and allows it to increase in width. Intercalary meristem is found in nodes along grasses and allows them to grow from the “base”, which is why grass continues to grow after it is cut. Plants have three organs: leaves, stems, and roots. While the functions of the organs are the same between plants, the structure is different between two large groups of plants: monocots and dicots. Leaves are the site of photosynthesis. In monocots, the vascular tissue is in parallel veins like in grass. In dicots, the veins form a web or net pattern like in a maple leaf. A bulb is a modified leaf that allows the plant to store food. Stems make up the “body” of the plant and support the leaves. In monocots, vascular bundles are found randomly throughout the…
Where in the eudicot plant root would you expect to find the vascular cylinder? -Between the ground and dermal tissue. -Near the edge. -Parallel to the edge. -In the center of the root. -Scattered in the root.
A cross-section of a root is shown in the diagram. Xylem Cortex Phloem Epidermis The labeled structures are classified as which of the following? Cells, because each structure consists of only one type of cell Tissues, because each structure is used for a specific function Organs, because each structure functions independently of the others Organisms, because these structures perform in an interconnected process
If the shoot apical meristem gets broken off due to bad weather or damage, what type of tree growth you expect to observe in the immediate future? The tree would grow wider instead of taller. The tree would not show any growth but would stay healthy and alive. The tree roots would grow deeper within the soil, but no growth would occur above ground. The tree would grow taller instead of wider. The tree growth would be uneven in many different directions.
Tissues in a carrot root, make a simple sketch and label the tissues. The outermost covering of the cylinder( the skin of the carrot root) is made up of dermal tissue, particularly the periderm. Beneath the periderm is a layer called the cortex which is made up of parenchyma, a type of ground tissue. Underneath the cortex is vascular cylinder which contains the ploem(the outer layer of the cylinder) and the xylem (the central core of the cylinder, the lightly colored part). Between the ploem and the xylem where the vascular cambium is located (a layer that is only one cell thick) a lateral meristematic tissue. plsssss help me sketch this and label it, thank you.
A plant stem's two main functions are to support the leaves and to transport materials between roots and leaves. As a stem develops, it possesses three types of permanent tissues: surface tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. The surface and ground tissues support and give structure to the plant. The vascular tissues are the transport systems of the plant. The vascular tissues usually exist in one of three patterns and are known as the phloem and xylem. Both the xylem and phloem are made up of several different types of cells that make up transport tubes for needed nutrients. In general, xylem nutrients (sap) travel from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem sap is derived from photosynthesizing leaves and from there is carried throughout the plant. 24. What would we be able to study by Hg einjecting a nutrient dye into the root of a plant? A. phloem sap transport B. all vascular tissues C. xylem sap transport D. pith and cortex cells bio6 0 E. total plant photosynthesis
Plant Physiology Define or describe and give 2 functions of the plant tissue: Meristem
Where are the primary meristems located? -Dermal tissue. -Root and stem tips. -Stem tip only. -Vascular tissue. -Woody stem.
Determine the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices below. I. All plant tissue arises from the activity of meristems. Meristems are analogous to stem cells in animals.; II. Primary growth arises at lateral meristems in the tips of young shoots and roots.; III. Secondary growth arises at apical meristems in older stems and roots.; IV. Vascular cambium produces secondary xylem (wood) on its inner surface, and secondary phloem on its outer surface. Cork cambium gives rise to cork, which is part of periderm. All statements are true. Only one (1) statement is true. Only two (2) statements are true. None of the statements is true. Only three (3) statements are true.
