also anchor the plant. Some roots have mycorrhizae‚ which increase the surface area and therefore increase the absorption. The endodermis‚ which is the innermost layer of cells in the root cortex‚ surrounds the vascular cylinder. It is the passage of minerals from the cortex into the vascular tissue. The stem has a system of nodes where leaves are attached. They have a waxy coating (epidermis) that prevents water loss. The stem and the roots are the 2 main axes in a vascular plant. Fluids are transported

pollution emitted by human activities‚ such as factories‚ electrical power plants and automobiles. Two main pollutants are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)‚ which reacts with substances in the atmosphere‚ such as water and oxygen‚ to form acid rain. While rain water has a pH of 5.6‚ acid rain has a pH of 5 or less‚ which is acidic enough to harm plant life. Due to the reactivity of acid rain‚ the cell processes of plants are disrupted‚ and the cells die or become unable to function properly
