18. Growth in plants All plant tissues arise from the activity of ________________ Meristems: _________________________________________ __________________________________________________ When meristem cells divide, some of their descendants differentiate Give rise to vascular, ground, and epidermal tissues as they enlarge and mature

19. Primary growth Plant parts lengthen by activity at _____________________ in the tips of shoots and roots This lengthening is called _______________________________ Shoots: primary growth occurs at the ________________(the shoot’s tip), undifferentiated cells divide rapidly. Lateral buds form at _____________ Roots: cells in the _________________of a root tip divide repeatedly, some differentiate, ____________ forms for protection

21. Secondary growth Many eudicot and gymosperm species undergo _________________________________ Stems and roots thicken and become _____________________ Thickening originates at ___________________________: Cylindrical layers of meristem that run lengthwise through stems and roots Vascular cambium: ___________________________________ __________________________________________________ Wood: accumulated secondary xylem Cork cambium: lateral meristem that gives rise to __________ Cork: waterproofs, insulates, and protects the surfaces of woody stems and roots

22. pith endodermis primary xylem secondary xylem vascular cambium phloem cork cambium parenchyma collenchyma cork wood bark periderm

23. Tree rings Rings visible in the heartwood and sapwood are regions of early and late wood. In most temperate zone trees, one ring forms each year. Sap oozes from xylem in this freshly cut pine log. ____________is secondary xylem that is still functional. As a tree ages, the oldest xylem at the center of its trunk may no longer be able to transport fluid because it has clogged. This older xylem is called __________________.

25. Sequestering carbon in forests Stephen Sillett studied a 3,200-year-old giant sequoia tree The tree holds more than 54,000 cubic feet of wood and bark Important for carbon offsets: financial instruments designed to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide Carbon incorporated into sturdy plant tissues such as wood can stay out of the atmosphere for thousands of years
