The vascular cambium produces secondary phloem and xylem tissue. Vascular cambium, a plant tissue located between the xylem and the phloem in the stem of a vascular plant. It is also the source of both secondary xylem growth and the secondary phloem growth. Vascular cambium is usually found on dicots and gymnosperms not on monocots which usually lack secondary growth. It does not transport water, dissolved food or minerals by plants.Vascular cambia are cylinders of unspecialized meristem cells which divide to make new cells which specialize to form secondary vascular tissues.<span> </span>
<span>Every living thing needs food. Whether it makes it, or gets it from another living thing by eating that living thing. No living thing can survive without a food source. Food is where you get the energy for life.</span>
A protein molecule is made from a long chain of these amino acids, each linked to its neighbor through a covalent peptide bond (Figure 3-1). Proteins are therefore also known as polypeptides. Each type of protein has a unique sequence of amino acids, exactly the same from one molecule to the next.
