Plant Structure and Growth
Roots anchor, the plant, ingest minerals and water, direct water and supplements, and store food. These are two kinds of root frameworks.
Plant Life Cycle
Plants are part of the PLANT KINGDOM, which is one of the five kingdoms of life. Plants are divided into smaller classes based on common characteristics. Certain characteristics are shared by all plants. They are made up of a large number of cells. They also make their own food through a chemical process called photosynthesis, which involves the use of water, carbon dioxide, and solar energy. They pump life-giving oxygen into the air as a by-product.
Life Cycle of Plants
All the organisms that belong to the Kingdom Plantae are known as plants. They are multicellular and eukaryotic and can synthesize their food by photosynthesis, known as autotrophic organisms. They are classified based on certain characteristics, such as the plants bear flowers; some have only naked seeds and do not contain flowers. Some plants neither have seeds nor flowers, such as ferns and mosses.
Plant Morphology and Anatomy
The study of life and organisms is biology. The cell is recognized as the basic unit of life by biology. From ancient Greek, biology is recognized. Modern biology deals with the recent developments in Science.
What are apical meristems?
Which type of plant growth
does this meristem promote?
Meristems are specialized type of tissues found in plants. They contain undifferentiated cells that have ability of cell division. Cells present in meristem can divide and develop into other different types of tissues and organs of the plants. Cells of meristems are incompletely differentiated or undifferentiated, totipotent, and have capability of continued cell division.
Apical meristem is the region of cells found in the shoot and root tips of the plants. It has the capability of growth and division in the tip region of plants. It is responsible for the root and shoot extension and it gives rise or initiates the primary plant body. Plants continuously grow throughout their life span due to unlimited cell division of apical and other meristems. There are two types of apical meristems: shoot apical meristem (SAM) and root apical meristem (RAM). Shoot apical meristems are found in the terminal part of branches and stems of the plants. Root apical meristems are found in the root tip of plants and also known as root apex.
