Define the summerwood and springwood cells in the tree and find the difference between these cells.
Explanation of Solution
Summerwood cells:
The part of an annual ring of the wood that is characterized by compact thick walled cells, formed during the laterpart of the growing season. These cells are called summerwood cells.
Springwood cells:
The part of an annual ring of the wood that is characterized by large thin walled cells, formed during the earlier part of the growing season. These cells are called springwood cells.
Differences between summerwood and springwood cells:
The springwood cells are larger and less dense in substance as compared to summerwood cells.
The summerwood is stiffer and stronger than springwood.
The summerwood is filled with smaller pores as compared to springwood.
