It increases the thickness of the stem during secondary growth.

Front

What are enzymes?

Back

Proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions.

Front

How do CAM plants minimize photorespiration?

Back

The Calvin cycle and light dependent reactions happen at different times of the day.

Front

What does the procambium develop into?

Back

The vascular cambium.

Front

What is the primary difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do.

Front

Define secondary growth in plants.

Back

Growth that results in an increase in the thickness of stems and roots.

Front

What role do enzymes play in living organisms?

Back

They speed up biochemical reactions necessary for life.

Front

What is the significance of the vascular cambium in plants?

Back

It is responsible for the secondary growth and formation of xylem and phloem.

Front

What is crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM)?

Back

A photosynthetic pathway that allows plants to minimize water loss.
