What is the purpose of the stem?
The purpose of the stem are: -for structure -to transport water and nutrients. The stem carries food and water through 2 tissues. (The xylem tissue and the Phloem tissue). The woody kind of stems have lots of xylem tissues, while non-woody stems have less xylem tissues.
What is the function of the vascular cambian in the woody stems?
produces xylem and phloem
Which part of the plant contains xylem and phloem?
Called the vascular system, or the vascular bundle.
Are xylem and phloem tissues?
yes, xylem and phloem are tissues in the vascular system
What fibers surround the xylem and phloem tissues?
The xylem and the phloem tissues are found in plants. Bast fibers surround the xylem and the phloem tissues in plants.
What is the growth of tissue that produces phloem and xylem in the stems of woody plants?
woody stems have more xylem than soft stems
How is woody xylem in tilia different from xylem in the herbaceous monocots and dicots?
Herbaceous stems lack woody tissue and growth rings unlike woody xylem. Wood is a composite of cellulose fibers which require the the process of phloem in the bark to contain nutrients unlike herbaceous stems that rely on xylem that contains vessel and vascular elements.
What fibers surrounds the xylem and phloem?
The xylem and the phloem tissues are found in plants. Bast fibers surround the xylem and the phloem tissues in plants.
What is the structure of stems?
The structure of a stem has different intereal structures. They have vascular tissues. Stems have a bundled arrangement of circular vascular tissues. The xylem and phloem are in a circle of vascular tissues that form a ring around cortex.
Do xylem and phloem exist only in roots and stems?
True Xylem & phloem are found every where there are vascular bundles including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits etc.
What is the difference between the arrangement of vascular tissue in the stems of dicots and monocots?
In young dicot and monocot stems do not increase in thickness. Xylem and phloem are arranged in vascular bundles in the cortex. In older stems and all woody stems, the vascular tissues form a cylinder between the cortex and the pith. The vascular bundles in a monocot are scattered throughout the stem.
Is grass nonvascular?
No, they have roots and stems and vascular tissue
