This question deserves more attention that I am able to provide right now but, until someone else can get to improving the answer the brief description at http://www.inquirewithin.biz/Vol1/Woods/wood.htm might help.
No, a wooden table is not made up of cells. Wood is composed of plant cells that have undergone a process of cellular decay and lignification, resulting in a rigid structure. The table itself is made by assembling pieces of wood together.
Plant cells are surrounded by a stiff cell wall made of cellulose, which makes the cells very rigid. It is this strong structure that gives plants their sturdiness.
Wood
Wood does not increase in size when soaked in kerosene because kerosene is a non-polar solvent that does not interact with the polar molecules in wood's cellulose and lignin structure. Unlike water, which can swell wood by penetrating its cell walls and forming hydrogen bonds, kerosene does not have the same affinity for wood fibers. As a result, the wood remains stable in size when exposed to kerosene.
Wood typically rots faster in damp, dark conditions because darkness creates a more favorable environment for fungi growth, which is a common cause of wood rot. Light can sometimes help slow down the growth of fungi, so wood might rot slightly slower in light conditions compared to dark ones.
Soft wood...
Pine is a soft wood.
a soft wood
mainly soft wood
some wood can be soft but most wood is hard
Yes, albeit dead cells. The cell walls of the dead cells is what gives wood its stiff physical characteristic.
soft
is larch wood soft or hard wood
yes, it is a soft wood.
Yes lime is a soft wood
hard wood and soft wood are the same for the environment.
Spruce is a soft wood.
