Bark cambium: to protect the insides of a tree. Stem Tissues: An Indepth Look
Questions to Ponder… • Why would girdling, the removal of bark and vascular cambium in a narrow ring all the way around a tree, result in the death of a tree? • If you remove the apical meristem from a dicot plant, what would be the effect on further plant growth? • Of what value are tubers, a type of stem modification, to the survival of a plant species?
Root Tissues: Closer Look Brainstorm: If you were to design the perfect root system for a plant, how might it look like? --spidery for increase surface area --longer, to draw more nutrients and water, more spread out with less competition for resources. --sturdy to survive tough weather

Root Tissues: Closer Look How do ions get into roots?
Root Tissues: Closer Look The Hydrogen Pump • Uses Active transport (ATP) to move the proton (hydrogen ions) from the cytoplasm • To the lysoome (or one area to another) • (2) The protein changes shape to bring H ions through: The protein is conformation A • When it receives an ion. Under ATP, it turns to conformation B to release the ion to the • Other side. http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/olc/dl/120068/bio05.swf
