Document Summary

Because vessel elements have a larger diameter, they are at more risk of collapse and cavitation than trachieds. Xylem pumps water into phloem (where phloem has high sugar level) then the sugar is pushed down to the area of lower sugar concentration. A plant can be considered a source is it is photosynthetic! Turgor pressure is water pressure in the cell. Meristems- tip of the plant- refers to plant growing above and below soil. Apical meristem = located at tip of root and shoot. 3 types of tissue- dermal, ground, and vascular. Cambium is converting point from xylem to phloem. The tree trunk goes from primary xylem to secondary xylem to vascular cambium to secondary phloem to primary phloem to cork cambium to cork. (secondary xylem to secondary phloem) Seconday xylem is half an inch beneath cork cambium. Secondary phloem is too thin to really hit. Gymnosperms carried by wind- conifers, pine trees.
