Concept explainers
To explain: Whether the tree will die in weeks or in days, if a complete ring of bark around a tree trunk is removed.
Concept introduction:
In woody plants, bark refers to the group of tissues that are present outside the vascular cambium. The bark constitutes secondary phloem and periderm along with its older layers.
There are two layers of bark namely inner bark and outer bark. The inner bark constitutes the secondary phloem (produced by the vascular cambium). The outer bark contains cork cells (produced by cork cambium). The cork cells produce suberin. The suberin makes trunk and roots impermeable to water and gases. The inner living tissue exchange gases through lenticels, opening in barks.

Label the following parts of the leaf on Model 2: ◆ Spongy mesophyll ◆ Palisade mesophyll Epidermis • Vascular bundle 2. Most photosynthesis occurs in the cells of the palisade mesophyll and the spongy mesophyll. For photosynthesis to occur, these cells must receive the reactants needed for photosynthesis and be able to allow the products to exit.

Collenchyma cells give a cell the extra assistance it needs to grow in empty regions like shoots and leaves. b. The cell membrane provides energy for the cell. c. If you looked at the papaya tree's stem and root cross-section through the microscope, the phloem and xylem would be visible in a scattered and circular manner, respectively. d.
