Chapter 35, Problem 1TYU
Summary Introduction

Introduction: Plants exhibit two types of growth: primary growth and secondary growth. Plant’s primary growth involves growth in plant length. It usually occurs in roots and shoots. The apical meristem tissues allow this type of growth. On the other hand, the secondary growth involves growth in thickness. The lateral meristem assists in this type of growth. The secondary growth occurs in the parts of plant where the primary growth has been stopped. The two types of embryonic shoot present in dicots are terminal buds and axillary buds.

Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct answer: Axillary buds are located in the upper angle between a leaf and the stem to which it is attached.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct answer:

The axillary buds, also called lateral buds, are embryonic shoots that are located at the axil of a leaf. The axil is the upper angle between a leaf and the stem to which it is attached. They are found only in dicots.

Option (d) is given as “in the upper angle between a leaf and the stem to which it is attached”.

The axillary buds are an embryonic shoot that is located in the axil of a leaf.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Reasons for incorrect answers:

Option (a) is given as “at the tips of stems”.

The terminal buds are the primary growing point of the plant which is located at the tip of the stem.

Hence, option (a) is incorrect.

Option (b) is given as “in unusual places, such as on roots”.

The buds that are found in unusual places are called as adventitious buds.

Hence, option (b) is incorrect.

Option (c) is given as “in the region between two successive nodes”.

The region between two successive nodes is known as internode. The axillary buds are not found in internodes.

Hence, option (c) is incorrect.

Option (e) is given as “within the loosely arranged cells of lenticels”.

Lenticels are loose aggregate of cells in the periderm. They help in gaseous exchange between the atmosphere and the living tissue inside the bark. The axillary buds are not found in lenticels.

Hence, option (e) is incorrect.

Hence, options (a), (b), (c), and (e) are incorrect.

Conclusion

Axillary buds are found in between the leaf and stem.

10. Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label the bond that you formed between the two R groups. - Polar covalent Bond - Red - Non polar Covalent boND- yellow - Ionic BonD - PINK Hydrogen Bonn - Purple Hydrophobic interaction-green O=C-N H I.

Find the dental formula and enter it in the following format: I3/3 C1/1 P4/4 M2/3 = 42 (this is not the correct number, just the correct format) Please be aware: the upper jaw is intact (all teeth are present). The bottom jaw/mandible is not intact. The front teeth should include 6 total rectangular teeth (3 on each side) and 2 total large triangular teeth (1 on each side).
