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.
