What is responsible for secondary growth in a stem?
Vascular cambium is responsible for secondary growth in a stem.
What does the cambium do for the plant?
It increases the girth of the stem......................
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 type of growth does cell produced by the vascular cambium increase the diameter of a plant's stem?
secondary xylem
What part of a plant produces secondary growth?
Meristematic tissue (vascular cambium) produces secondary growth. In plant stems, this serves to increase the diameter, and it forms between the primary xylem and phloem.
Do monocots have vascular cambium?
no there is no cambium present in monocot roots.
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
Growth tissue between xylem and phloem that produces additional xylem and phloem cell?
i think it is vascular cambium layer............ :)
What is responsible for secondary growth in a stem?
Vascular cambium is responsible for secondary growth in a stem.
What does the cambium do for the plant?
It increases the girth of the stem......................
What happens as the vascular cambium produces phloem and xylem cells?
Simply put, these are the growth areas of the plant.
Why is secondary growth important to many plants?
Secondary growth is important because as larger plants grow, more vascular tissue (responsible for transport of water, sugar and minerals) is needed to keep up with the constant growing of the plant. Limit the vascular tissue and the plant will have insufficient amount of water and sugar conduit for transportation throughout.
What is meat by primary and secondary growth in vascular plants?
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.
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 is the function of the cambium?
The cambium is the layer of actively dividing cells between the xylem and phloem tissues of plants. It is responsible for the secondary growth of plants.
What type of growth does cell produced by the vascular cambium increase the diameter of a plant's stem?
secondary xylem
What is the significance of the vascular cambium tissue in woody perennials?
It gives rise to the vascular tissues of phloem and xylem. Thus it helps in the secondary growth of a plant.
