CH 23 Lesson 1 (STEMS & LEAVES)

4.7.1 Explain how the structure of the stem facilitates its three functions including

leaves, branches, and flowers production; holding leaves up to the sun; and

transporting substances throughout the plant

4.7.2 Contrast the processes of primary growth and secondary growth in stems;

including the type of plant, the result of the growth and the role of the cambium
