Document Summary

Explain primary and secondary growth in plants and the meristems responsible for each. Meristems responsible for this: apical meristems (protoderm, ground meristem, procambium) Increase in width of root and shoot systems. Meristem responsible for this: cambium or lateral meristem. Explai(cid:374) the co(cid:374)cept of (cid:862)apical do(cid:373)i(cid:374)a(cid:374)ce(cid:863). (vascular cambium, cork cambium) Apical dominance = inhibition of lateral bud growth by the apical meristem at the tip of a plant branch. Explain the internal and external structure of roots. Root hair: an extension of specialized root epidermal cells increasing surface area for absorption of water & minerals. Cortex: region between epidermis & vascular cylinder. Endodermis: layer of cells just outside vascular cylinder. Pericycle: cylindrical layer of cells inside endodermis. Origin of cork & secondary (side) roots. Vascular cylinder: arrangement of vascular tissues as a central cylinder in roots. Xylem: living (outer) vascular system carrying water & minerals throughout plant. Phloem: living (inner) vascular system carrying dissolved sugars and organic compounds throughout plant.
