Palm trees form their roots in this densely packed network
Root Mat
This type of growth increases the grith of roots and stems
Secondary Growth
These are the sugars produced by photosynthesis
Photosynthates
The cells that contain chlorophyll
Chloroplasts
This is located at the intersection of the trunk and the root
Trunk Flare
Palms are classified biologically similar to grasses which are called ...
Monocots
These are found at the end of the stem and are responsible for primary growth
Apical Buds/Terminal Buds
These are small opening in the bark that permit gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
Lenticels
Leaves play a role in this type of movement that helps to cool the leaf in the form of water vapor
Transportation
Trees that produce vessels of uniform size making it harder to distinguish growth rings are examples of this type of wood
Diffuse Porous
Fronds
This type of growth produces a strong central leader
Excurrent Growth
The transportation of water and nutrients laterally between cells of different ages is called this...
Radial Transport
This fungi creates a symbiosis with trees
Mycorrhizae
These buds occur along the stem and remain dormant
Axillary or Lateral buds
Palm trees only have this type of growth
Primary Growth
This thin layer of cells produces two kinds of tissues then xylem and the phloem
Cambium
This is a way for trees to wall off decay and damage
Compartmentalization/ CODIT
These are important in root development and are produced in shoot tips
Auxins
This element of a tree's structure is not included in the bark
Palm trees only have one of these
Apical Meristem/ Growing Point
These buds are produced along the stems or roots where primary meristems are not normally found
Adventitious Buds
This is produced in the roots and initiates shoot growth
Cytokinins
This is produced at the base of a leaf in deciduous trees and enables the leaf to drop
This is produced outside of the cambium and is responsible for transport
Phloem
