Q

Secondary growth production

A
  • Vascular cambium undergoes mitosis to produce xylem to the inside and phloem to the outside. + Xylem and phloem cells do not undergo mitosis.- Primary phloem is crushed as the secondary phloem expands.- Primary xylem is pushed into the pith by the secondary xylem until the pith is completely gone.- Secondary xylem continues to grow inwards, causing the stem to expand in width.

106
Q

Source vs. sink

A

Source may be a leaf, root, flower, etc. Active transport causes solutes to move to sieve-tubes. Water moves in to increase pressure, and bulk flow pushes solutes towards sink. Pressure and solute concentration decrease between source and sink, but solutes eventually reach the sink, lowering their water potential. Water enters the sink after the solutes.
