Summary Introduction
To determine:
The affect of undifferentiated vessel cells on the functioning of the mutant maize plant.
Introduction:
Vessel cells are the primary water conducting and transporting cells in the plants. Xylem tissues or the vessel cells are responsible for the transfer of water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plants.

A student collected samples of cells from a woody plant during the spring and produced the drawings below. Sample 1 was collected from the woody stem of the plant. Sample 2 was collected from the root tip of the plant. Cells in different steps of mitosis are labeled with letters A, B, C, D, and E in Sample A) Describe the role of mitosis in the growth of a plant. B) Explain why there are more cells observed in mitosis in the root tip than in the woody stem.

- In farming communities, there is a concern that over irrigation can leech nutrients out of the soil, flood a farm area, and add salt to the soil in a process called salinization. The overall negative results are that some plants cannot germinate (grow from seed) and other adult or growing plants will die. Explain what is happening on the cell level, in regards to transport across the cell membrane, why seeds might not germinate, and why adult plants might die.arrow_forward(a) Describe the role of mitosis in the growth of a plant.
