Chapter 28.1, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The development stages of plants are divided into vegetative, reproductive, ripening, and senescence. The Vegetative growth of plants includes stages between germination and flowering. During the vegetative stage, plants carry out photosynthesis and accumulate

- Figure 30.34 Which of the following statements is false? Negative water potential draws water into the root hairs. Cohesion and adhesion draw water up the xylem. Transpiration draws water from the leaf. Negative water potential draws water into the root hairs. Cohesion and adhesion draw water up the phloem. Transpiration draws water from the leaf. Water potential decreases from the roots to the top of the plant. Water enters the plants through root hairs and exits through stoma.arrow_forwardWhich of the following meristems are responsible for secondary growth in woody plants? Group of answer choices ground meristem and procambium vascular cambium and protoderm cork cambium and vascular cambium protoderm and procambiumarrow_forwardT/F Question Parenchyma is soft, internal plant tissue. Xylem and phloem are plant structural tissue. Periderm tissue is a type of plant epidermis in young stems and roots. Plant shoots include stems, leaves, and flowers. Monocot stems have their vascular bundles arranged in a ring pattern in the ground tissue. Eudicots have their leaf veins arranged in a parallel pattern. Photosynthesis in leaves takes place in the mesophyll layer Eudicots possess a large taproot. The limiting factor for plants is phosphorus. Root hairs help to decrease the absorbtive surface area of a plant. Xylem conducts plant sugars and organic molecules. Plant tissues grow from meristem cells that continually divide during the growing season. Primary plant growth involves thickening of the stems and roots. Plants can undergo asexual reproduction without cross-pollination. The fertilization process in plants is a double fertilization process. Over 1/3 of the U.S. food supply comes from the cross-pollination…arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardThe following model is what type of root: Monocot or Eudicotarrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a function or characteristic of roots in plants?
