Chapter 35, Problem 1A
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Plants are mainly multicellular, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of kingdom Plantae. Plant growth is an outcome of cell, new cell enlargement and their differentiation into different tissue types. These growth processes are accompanied by an increase in the dry weight of growing parts and a permanent change in the size.

3) When she was a young child, Mélanie had a favourite swing hanging from the lower branch of
a tree. Over time, Mélanie grew older, and eventually moved out of her parent's house. Now,
when Mélanie returns to visit her parents, the tree is much larger than it was when Mélanie was
just a young child, but her swing is still hangingg at approximately the same height. Using
concepts and terms related to plant growth seen in class, briefly explain how this phenomenon is
possible.
Ten
Plant roots develop differently from plant shoots during primary growth. Explain:
How is the formation of lateral roots different from making new branches on shoots?
Why don't roots and shoots generate new primary growth the same way?
two leaves A and B, each having the petiole in a closed test tube full of water. Each is hung on a spring balance. Leaf A has a waxy cuticle on the upper epidermis and stomata on the lower epidermis. Leaf B a waxy cuticle on the upper epidermis and a lower epidermis covered with petroleum jelly. Both leaves were cut from the same plant.
i)Explain why it is important for the leaves to be cut from the same plant.
(ii) List TWO variabes that must be kept constant in this investigation. iii) Table 6 shows the results obtained in the experiment:
leaf and test tube

Youworry that they might get blown over by the wind, so you decide to lend them extrasupport with a wire frame. You accidently break the growing tip off the top of one ofthe plants. After a few weeks, you notice that instead of growing tall like the otherplants, the plant with the broken tip has grown denser with thicker lateral shootsthan the other plants.
