The presence of the vascular tissue allows a plant to grow much larger than its gametophyte counterpart and non-vascular plants. What are two functions (not structures) of the vascular tissue that allow for this?
Sri K.
2) Most of the growth and cell division takes place in a collection of cells called the apical meristem. From an evolutionary standpoint, why would it make sense for the root to be able to continually over the course of the plant's lifecycle? 3) The vascular tissue in plants is similar to the human circulatory system in that its function is to carry fluid all over the plant. Vascular tissue in the plant is comprised of xylem and phloem tissues with the cells being larger and essentially dead at maturity. Why do you think that is given that the xylem carries water and the phloem carries sugars. 4) Name and describe the key differences in monocots and eudicots, focusing on the veins in the leaves, the arrangement of the vascular tissue in the stem and the number of cotyledons.
Adi S.
Beginning with this group of plants, all plants that have evolved after contain vascular tissue, allowing them to grow larger. The two types of vascular tissue are xylem and phloem. For each statement below, determine if it refers to xylem or phloem. The vascular tissue that transports water: xylem The vascular tissue that transports nutrients: phloem
