What is the difference between the primary and the secondary growth

Biology
1 answer:
scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Secondary Growth

The increase in stem thickness that results from secondary growth is due to the activity of the lateral meristems, which are lacking in herbaceous plants. Lateral meristems include the vascular cambium and, in woody plants, the cork cambium. The vascular cambium is located just outside the primary xylem and to the interior of the primary phloem. The cells of the vascular cambium divide and form secondary xylem ( tracheids and vessel elements) to the inside and secondary phloem (sieve elements and companion cells) to the outside. The thickening of the stem that occurs in secondary growth is due to the formation of secondary phloem and secondary xylem by the vascular cambium, plus the action of cork cambium, which forms the tough outermost layer of the stem. The cells of the secondary xylem contain lignin, which provides hardiness and strength.

Primary growth

Most primary growth occurs at the apices, or tips, of stems and roots. Primary growth is a result of rapidly-dividing cells in the apical meristems at the shoot tip and root tip. Subsequent cell elongation also contributes to primary growth. The growth of shoots and roots during primary growth enables plants to continuously seek water (roots) or sunlight (shoots).

Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. resethelp biomass assimilated feces
yaroslaw [1]

1. The right answer is not assimilated

The assimilation designates in biology the process by which substances and materials external to the body are transformed into substances and materials interior to the body.

2.  The right answer is feces.

Feces correspond to the residue of digestion that the intestine could not absorb. They consist of 80% water and 20% dry matter (intestinal cell debris, bacteria, cellulose that comes from the non-absorbable part of plants).

3. The right answer is assimilated  

The opposite of the first one.

4. The right answer is cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is the process of cellular metabolism that converts the chemical energy contained in nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

5. The right answer is assimilated

"Assimilation" can be also used for energy.

6. The right answer is biomass

In the field of energy, biomass is the organic matter of plant origin (microalgae included), animal, bacterial or fungal (fungi), usable as a source of energy.

7. The right answer is biosynthesis.

Biosynthesis consists of a formation and production of a chemical compound body by a living organism, usually due to the catalysis of an enzyme. For example, protein synthesis is the synthesis of organic substances by an organism. Chemosynthesis and photosynthesis are biosynthesis.

8. The right answer is non assimilated.

Since it is lost, so it is not assimilated by the organism.

9. The right answer is biosynthesis.

In ecology, the trophic level is the rank occupied by a living being in a food web. It is measured in some way by the distance separating this being from the basic level which is that of the primary autotrophic production.

Above this basic level, each link (or stage) of a food chain corresponds to a trophic level.
