Concept explainers
To determine: The principal conducting cells in the xylem.
Introduction: The process of plant embryogenesis takes place after the fertilization of an ovule to produce a completely developed plant embryo. It establishes the apical–basal axis of the plant, with a root apical meristem at one end and a shoot apical meristem at the other end.
To determine: The principal conducting cells in the phloem.
Introduction: The plant body is formed of individual cells that are organized into aggregations of cells called as tissues. In plants, the cells of each tissue function as a unit.
To describe: The characteristics of each cell type in phloem and xylem.
Introduction: The ground tissue system is formed of collenchyma, parenchyma, and sclerenchyma. The vascular tissue system is formed of phloem and xylem tissues.
