What is the role of bark in a plant? Will it survive when we peel off the bark entirely?

Bark consists of phloem which conducts food material.If we peel complete bark plant will die.Bark is the outermost layer of stems and roots of woody plants such as trees. It overlays the wood and consists of three layers, the cork, the phloem, and the vascular cambium - in other words, most of the stem except for the xylem (this division may seem arbitrary, but the easiest way to split a stem parallel to its length is by pulling the bark away from the xylem). The bark of some trees is edible.The vascular cambium is the only part of a woody stem where cell division occurs. It contains undifferentiated cells that divide rapidly to produce secondary xylem to the inside and secondary phloem to the outside.Along with the xylem, the phloem is one of the two tissues inside a plant that are involved with fluid transport. The phloem transports organic molecules (particularly sugars) to wherever they are needed.BarkCork, sometimes confused with bark in colloquial speech, is the outermost layer of a woody stem, derived from the cork cambium. It serves as protection against damage, parasites and diseases, as well as dehydration and extreme temperatures. Cork can contain antiseptics like tannins. Some cork is substantially thicker, providing further insulation and giving the bark a characteristic structure, in some cases thick enough to be harvestable as cork product without killing the tree.

well moss is very helpful cuz it traps alot of moisture so it provides water for neerby plants and insects during short dry periods. its also good at stabalizing the soil and prevents it from erosion during heavy rains. i guess insects can use them as habitat as well. lichen is more of a parizite. its actualy a combination of algea and fungi which use one another to survive. the algea make food from sunlight, while the fungi absorb nutrients from the surrounding, and they share it to survive. i guess there role in the ecosystem is the same as that of fungi. their decomposers which feed on decaying matter.

Close because the plant takes in CO2 and so it will prevent any CO2 from leaving the cell because it need them to carry out photosynthesis. Once they have enough, the stomata are closed so that they don't escape.

An ex boyfriend had to move to Anchorage, Alaska for awhile.  I couldn't meet him up there for a couple of weeks.\n\nHe mailed me a love letter on the white side of the paper bark he peeled from a white birch tree.  The back side of the bark is brown. The bark is just like paper but the edges of it are jagged from peeling it from the tree.\n\nI won't give out the romantic contents of it but that is the coolest, most romantic and creative thing I have ever recieved.\n\nWe're not together any more but I still keep it in my scrapbook.  There are 4 pages about 5 inches square.

bamboo as we know is a monocot. it survives like other monocot plants. can u be more specific abt your question??? it is too vague.

yes it will in the begining, then it will depend on the water level of the milk and orange juice ,if the soil will get very acidec then it will kill the plant and vice versa this means thet if it gets alkaline then it will kill the plant too.

Not the most specific question, but I'm guessing you're asking about energy storage. Plants use sunlight to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water, thus converting light energy to chemical (food) energy and providing the basis for life on earth as we know it.\n\nThe simple glucose molecules are then strung together to make complex carbohydrates, which serve as energy stores for the plant - and eventually, provides energy to anything that eats the plant.\n\nPlants also obviously store water, vitamins, minerals, etc. as do animals. To get a better answer you'd have to define the question better.\n\nPlants should not be stored in closets. Store where there's light. :)

Medicinally, its bark has been used for pain relief - much as other kinds of willow bark.  (Essentially, its natural aspirin.)\n\nMagically, it is generally associated with fertility, grief, death, rebirth, emotion, the subconscious, divination, cats, goats.  It can be used in bindings and banishings as well.

Their roots are actually specialized branches (rhizoids) that grow in the ground or into tree bark, on rock, etc. so the whole plant is actually living sideways.  The branches absorb water just like roots would. They have a great capacity for storing water, and most are pretty small, so they don't need as much rain as most plants, just humidity/moistness.  Most surfaces are wet with dew in the morning, and they absorb this.

The basic problem for trees surviving the winter in colder climates is that the water they need for transporting nurishment freezes.  There are two ways that trees survive through the winter:\n\n1)Deciduous trees: They basically go into hibernation for the winter.  They loose there leaves and have buds ready to go the next year.  So they to not need the excess nurishment durning the colder months.\n\n2) Evergreen Trees have leaves that are adapted to retainng water during the cold months either a waxy film or by shape.\n\nBoth types keep the truncks of the tree from cracking because of freezing sap by creating more sugars in the sap which causes the freezing point of the sap to drop.

A new disease, causing death of mature white poplar trees (Populus alba L.), was observed in Hulla Valley in northern Israel in the summer of 2002. The affected branches turned yellowish brown, and the inner bark turned black. The bark dried out and separated from the underlying wood. Later, copious, dark pycnidia developed on the dead bark.

This is a metaphor from botany.  If you cut off a bud from a plant, it won't have a chance to grow and flower.  Similarly, if you take care of a problem in the early stages, it won't be able to grow into a serious catastrophe.

Plant cells differentiate in many tissues, like leaf, xilem, phloem, root and many others. It's the same for us, an animal cell can differentiate into a liver cell, a brain cell, a skin cell....\nPlants, unlike us, have regions of undifferentiated cells, called meristems. The main meristem of the shoot is at the top, called the terminal bud. Theese cells divide and produce the elongation of the shoot, and as they become more and older they produce new shoot, leafs and stuff.\nOther meristems, axial buds, are kept right in the place where the leaf meets the shoot. When this buds start growing in the same way the terminal buds do, branches arise.\nOther regions of meristematic tissue are right between the phloem (where the sap flows) and the xilem (where the water flows) all along the shoot. This region is called the Vascular Cambium.\n\nNormally, the terminal bud secretes hormones to the sap that keep the other meristematic tissues at rest. This is to avoid a lot of branches beeing produced before the roots can cope with the water demand of a lot of leafs.\nWhen you cut the shoot, the terminal bud dissapears, so the axial buds and even the cambium start dividing and differentiating into new shoots. \nThe reason why this new growth happens near the cut is because this would be the youngest axial buds and cambium, and therefore the most active ones (or the ones that can more readily be activated).

The periderm is the outer bark of a tree.The periderm is a secondary tissue that replaces epidermis in roots and stems, and which consists of phellem, phellogen, and phelloderm (it includes dead tissues). while the inner bark is called the phloem,It conducts usable food from the leaves to the cambium to nourish it or to storage areas in the wood (it includes living tissues)and consists of  of alternating wedges of sieve tube tissue and radial parenchyma, most of the former crushed by secondary growth.

It creates a sugar gradient at the stem.  In other words, it gives the plant an excuse to stay alive.   You'll have your flower live longer also if you don't chop off all the leaves.\n\nBut this is for what, 3 days extra maybe.  It will die anyway.

inner bark of the pine to relieve coughs & bark and leaves of willow to treat cuts, sores and skin lesions. hope this helps!

Plants survive by adapting to the environment.  If the local fauna is eating the plant, the plant will develop a toxicity to ward off such animals form dining on the plant or the plant will reproduce in such numbers that a bite here and there doesn't matter.\n\nThe trick comes in when the animal develops a bond with a particular plant and adapts to the toxicity and uses this plant toxin to form its own shield against its predators--such as Monarch Butterflies and Milk weed or Gulf fliterary butterflies and the corky stemed passion flower.
