    Study Notes

    Germination and Dormancy

    • Dormancy is the inactive period prior to germination, crucial for seed viability and timing of growth.

    Plant Tissues

    • Phloem is responsible for transporting nutrients but is not synonymous with wood; wood primarily consists of xylem.

    Reproduction in Plants

    • Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of sperm and egg cells, resulting in genetic variation and diversity.

    Root Structure

    • The apical meristem refers to the growth region at the root tip, essential for root development and protection.

    Wood Structure

    • Sapwood is the younger, active part of a tree that conducts water, while the older, inner wood primarily provides structural support and is referred to as heartwood.
