|
Ways plants avoid ice within the cells (4) |
1) insulation from bark 2) pull water out if cells 3)produce things like oil,amino acids to keep water from freezing 4) antifreeze (reforms the ice so the ice isn't sharp and won't cut the cell |

Monocots |
|
Secondary growth occurs from |
The lateral meristem/cambium |
|
Secondary growth increases the... |
Width of the roots and shoots and the amount of conducting tissue and to provide structural support |
|
The vascular cambium is located |
Between the xylem and the phloem in the stem. |
|
Vascular cambium forms |
Secondary xylem and phloem |
|
Cork cambium located |
At the perimeter of the stem |
|
The cork cambium produces |
Cork cells that protects the woody stem as it increases the girth |
|
Does secondary growth occur in all eudicots? |
No but it only occurs in eudicots. Tomato plants are eudicots but they don't do secondary growth |
|
Lenticels |
Basically stomata that are open all the time |
|
