1) In previous chapters, growth by apical meristems was described.

In woody species, additional tissues are produced in the stem and root by other meristems, the __________________ ___________________ and the__________________________ ______________________. The new tissues themselves are ______________ ( ___________________ __________________) and ______________________ ( ________________ and ________________ ). They are the secondary tissues, and they constitute the plant's secondary body. Answer In previous chapters, growth by apical meristems was described. In woody species, additional tissues are produced in the stem and root by other meristems, the vascular cambium and the cork cambium. The new tissues themselves are wood ( secondary xylem) and bark (Secondary phloem and cork).They are the secondary tissues, and they constitute the plant's secondary body !) "ame at least three e#amples o$ woody plants that are trees and three that are shrubs. Answer Tree a) sycamores b) chestnuts c) pines %hrubs a) roses b) oleanders c) a&aleas

') (any herbs live $or several years. )ow do they respond to the bottlenec* o$ the limited conducting capacity o$ the $irst+year stem , Answer In some, the $irst year's leaves die during winter, and it the second year, the plant produces only as many leaves as it had during the $irst year. In other species, adventitous roots are produced that supply conducting capacity directly to the new section o$ stem being $ormed, thus bypassing older portions o$ the stem. (ost o$ these plants must remain low enough $or adventitous roots to reach the soil. These are o$ten rhi&omatous, such as irises, bamboo, and $erns.

-) .hich groups o$ plants have secondary growth , .hich never do , Answer The /udicots undergo secondary growth. (ost monocots can't undergo secondary growth. 0) Imagine a tree that has a radius o$ !1 cm and that produces a new layer o$ wood 1.0 cm thic* ( the outer radius o$ the new wood is !1. 0 cm and the inner radius is !1 cm). .hat is the cross+sectional area o$ the new layer o$ wood (2%A 3 4544646647545) , I$ each lea$ needs 1.1 cm! o$ wood to supply it with water, how many leaves can the tree have , I$ the tree produces a new ring o$ wood ne#t year that is again 1.0 cm thic*, how many leaves can the tree have ne#t year (assume that wood conducts water $or only 1 year, not ! years) , 8) .oody plants are almost always perennial plants, o$ten living $or many years. 9escribe some advantages o$ this with regard to a plant's ability to occupy a $avorable site. 9escribe some disadvantages with regard to how long a plant must survive pathogens and harsh conditions. Answer :nly those seeds that germinate in a suitable site are able to grow into adults and reproduce. :ther seeds may not be able to germinate because they do not encounter $avorable sites. It has to battle insects, $ungi, and environmental harshness 11, 111 times longer that a herb that germinates in April and lives $or 8 months. Its big si&e can easily be discovered by pathogens thus ma*ing it their target. ;) It must be di$$icult $or secondary growth to arise by evolution. )ow many times has it evolved in the -!1 million years that vascular plants have been in e#istence, )ow many o$ those have become e#tinct , Answer ' times in -!1 million years. ! two o$ those evolutionary lines become e#tinct. <) .hat is tha name o$ the vascular cambium that arises within vascular bundles, =etween vascular bundles, A$ter the two have $ormed, what is the shape o$ the vascular cambium , Is it a series o$ strips that are aligned up and down the trun* or root, or is it a complete cylinder , Answer .hat is tha name o$ the vascular cambium that arises within vascular bundles, Fasicular cambium. =etween vascular bundles, interfasicular cambium.A$ter the two have $ormed, what is the shape o$ the vascular cambium , Complete cylinder . Is it a series o$ strips that are aligned up and down the trun* or root, or is it a complete cylinder

>) Imagine a tree that is growing in springtime. All woody parts that were present last year have a vascular cambium, but all o$ the twigs that are brand new have ?ust primary growth with vascular bundles. .hen will a vascular cambium $orm in these twigs, .ill it connect to the old, pre+e#isting vascular cambium, or will it remain separate, 9escribe how this occurs Answer @ascular 2ambia must be e#tended each year. The tips o$ roots and stems initially contain only primary tissues A however at some time a$ter meta#ylem and metaphloem have matured, a vascular cambiium arise, and that portion o$ the root or stem then contains both primary and secondary tissues. 9uring the ne#t growing season , the apical meristem e#tends the a#is beyond this pointA a new segment o$ vascular cammbiumm $orms within it and ?oins at its base to the top o$ the vascular cambium $ormed in the previous season. The vascular cambium within a tree consists o$ segments o$ distinct ages, those near the ground being the oldest and those closer to the tips o$ the a#es being younger. 11) Bigure <+' is comple# but easy to understand.
