Summary Introduction
Introduction: The type of meristematic tissue that is present in the sides of roots and stems as well as responsible for the secondary growth of plants is called lateral meristem. The action of lateral meristem is to increase the thickness of roots and stem. The two types of lateral meristems are vascular cambium and cork cambium.

Which of the following is a mechanism of water movement in xylem that combines the evaporative pull of transpiration with the cohesive and adhesive properties of water? (a) pressure– flow (b) tension–cohesion (c) root pressure (d) active transport of potassium ions into guard cells (e) guttation
Movement of phloem sap from a source to a sink(A) occurs through the apoplast of sieve-tube elements.(B) depends ultimately on the activity of proton pumps.(C) depends on tension, or negative pressure potential.(D) results mainly from diffusion.
Given that (a) xylem is located toward the upper epidermis in leaf veins and phloem is located toward the lower epidermis and (b) the vascular tissue of a leaf is continuous with that of the stem, suggest one possible arrangement of vascular tissues in the stem that might account for the arrangement of vascular tissue in the leaf.
