What is a stem apex?
The point of the root meristem is called the root apical meristem, or the apex. The apex of the root meristem is covered by the root cap, which protects and guides its growth trajectory.
What meristem does the root cap originates?
The root cap originates from the apical meristem in the plant. The root cap is directly responsible for gravity perception in the plant.
What is growth tissue that remains just behind the root tip?
the apical meristem
What is a root apical meristem protected by?
A root apical meristem is protected by a root cap as it pushes through the abrasive soil. The root cap also secretes a polysaccharide slime that lubricates the soil around the tip of the root.
How is the shoot apical meristem different from the root apical meristem?
The main difference betweem root and shoot apical meristem is that in case of root apical meristem dermatogen and periblem fuses at apex and give rise to calyptrogen which is responsible for the formation of root cap
How does the root cap assist in the growth of root?
The root cap protects the meristem which is the dividing part of the root, it allows the root to push forward into the soil without endangering the meristem. the cells also produce a 'slime' the allows easy movement through the soil.
Where is meristem often found?
Often found in the tip of plant root
Where does most of a root's growth occur?
Apical meristem.
New growth at the tips of a Coleus root and shoot takes place at the?
The meristem is the location at which new growth of the shoot and the tips of a coleus root takes place. Mitosis occurs in the undifferentiated cells found in the meristem.
Growth tissue that remains just behind the root tip?
apical meristem
The area of active cell division in the onion root tip is called the?
Apical meristem
What could be the function of the root cap.Which is made up of parenchyma cells found at the root tip?
Protecting the apical meristem as the root penetrates deeper into the soil
