Growth in Plants Flashcards
What are the two types of PLANT GROWTH?
Primary and Secondary
It is a type of GROWTH that there is an increase in stem and root length due to the activity of apical meristems at the tips of roots and at the buds of stems.
Primary Growth
It is an area of cell division at the tip of a stem or root tip in plant; produces primary tissues.
Apical Meristem
It is a dormant embryonic shoot that eventually develops into an apical meristem.
Bud
It is a type of GROWTH that increase in a plant’s stem and root girth due to the activity of lateral meristems.
Secondary Growth
It is a type of GROWTH that is localized, typically as long cylinders of active growth throughout the lengths of older stems and roots.
Secondary Growth
What type of plants have secondary growth?
Woody plants
It is an area of cell division on the side of a vascular plant; the two lateral meristems give rise to secondary tissues.
Lateral Meristem
What are the two LATERAL MERISTEMS?
Vascular cambium and cork cambium.
