What is the difference between the apical meristem and lateral meristem? shoot apical meristems lateral meristems root apical meristems Apical meristemic tissue is responsible for primary growth at the root and shoot tips. Lateral meristemic tissue is responsible for secondary growth with an increase in diameter of the stem. Apical meristemic tissue is responsible for secondary growth with an increase in diameter of the stem. Lateral meristemic tissue is responsible for primary growth at the root and shoot tips. Lateral meristematic tissue is only found in annual plants. O Apical meristemic tissue is only found in woody plants.

Which of the following statements are true for root endodermis?I. Endodermal cells constitute the innermost layer of root cortex and surrond the vascular cylinder (xylem and phloem). II.
