Summary Introduction

To determine: The physical factors that are expected to influence shoot growth most strongly.

Introduction: Growth of plants occurs mainly in the tips of shoots and roots by cell division and expansion in the apical meristems. Certain physical factors of the environment are also expected to affect root and shoot growth.

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.
Is there any other environmental signal that roots could use to achieve downward growth?
You could prevent most of a plant's secondary growth by: Destroying the phloem portion of the vascular cambium It would require the combination of at least two of these Removing the apical or basal meristems Destroving the cork cambium Destroying the xylem portion of the vascular cambium
