Girth of the stem increases due to lateral meristematic tissues. They are found beneath the bark (called cork cambium) and in vascular bundles of dicot roots and stems (called vascular cambium) as thin layers. This increase in the diameter and girth of the plant is called secondary growth.
In vascular plants, phloem is the living tissue that transports the soluble organic compounds made during photosynthesis and known as photosynthates, in particular the sugar sucrose, to parts of the plant where needed. This transport process is called translocation.
Euglena belong to the phylum Euglenozoa. Members of this phylum are unicellular organisms mostly found in freshwater, with a few found in saltwater. The all have a flagellum to use for movement and have chloroplasts, but can also feed as heterotrophs.

Zinc phosphide is used as a rat poison is an inorganic compound that combines phosphorus with zinc. It is used in rodenticide baits. When an animal eats the bait, the acid in the animal’s stomach turns the zinc phosphide into phosphine.
. Phosphine is a very toxic gas.It’s lead to the death of that rodenticide.
Robert Hooke, an English scientist, discovered a honeycomb-like structure in a cork slice using a primitive compound microscope. He only saw cell walls as this was dead tissue. He coined the term “cell” for these individual compartments he saw.
