What is meat by primary and secondary growth in vascular plants?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
The primary growth in vascular plants takes place with the differentiation of vascular tissue from parenchymatous cells and the secondary growth takes place when the intra-vascular and inter vascular cambium adds to the secondary phloem and secondary xylem.

Do mosses have secondary growth?
No, mosses do not have secondary growth. Secondary growth takes place in vascular plants. Mosses are non-vascular.
Do Woody plants lack secondary growth?
Primary growth is responsible for elongating the plant. In woody plants, primary growth is then followed by secondary growth which allows the plant stem to increase in thickness or girth.
Do all angiosperms undergo secondary growth?
No, most monocots (which fall under flowering plants) do not undergo secondary growth due to the fact that they lack vascular cambium.
How would plants that exhibit secondary growth differ in size and structure from plants that exhibit only primary growth?
someone please answer this question...
Why do monocot plants not show secondary growth?
In a monocot stem, vascular bundles are scattered throughout the stem. However, because the of the lack of vascular cambium, no secondary growth occurs in the monocot stem. As a result of increased cell size, the monocot stem will only increase in height only.
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
What tissues produce secondary growth in plants?
Lateral meristems. Usually, vascular tissue is produced in the center of the stalk and grows outward continually. The vascular cambium is responsible for the new vascular tissue and the cork cambium produces new dermal coverings.
What are secondary and primary consumers?
Primary consumers feed on producers (plants) and secondary consumers feed on primary consumers. For example, rabbits are primary consumers because they feed on vegetation. Foxes are secondary consumers because they feed on rabbits.
Which is the primary source of stem thickening in plants?
vascular cambium
What features of land plants enabled erect growth?
The vascular system in plants actually does it
How do primary on secondary xylem differ in origin?
The Vascular Cambium adds cells on both sides, producing secondary Xylem toward the inside of the stem This is true for most vascular plants except for the order Myrtales that has phloem on both sides of the xylem. The cambium structure is quite different in this order.
Is a moose a secondary consumer or a primary consumer?
Moose are secondary consumers because they eat plants, primary consumers.
