Define:(i) Radial vascular bundle (ii) Root pressure |
|
Answer» (i) In this type of vascular bundles, xylem and phloem occur alternately on different radii e.g., in roots. (ii) Root pressure is the pressure exerted by the liquid contents of the fully turgid cortex cells of the root, forcing some of it into the xylem vessels and up through the stem. It is a vital phenomenon and depends upon the activity of the living cells of root. |
