The difference between lateral and terminal buds?
a terminal bud occurs on the main axis of a stem,it helps in the elongation of the main axis. a lateral bud occurs on the sides of that main axis,it helps in the branching of the plant,generates new stem (secondary) to the main axis,those newly generated branches end also with terminal buds that help in their elongation and may have lateral buds to generate new branches and so on . A whole plant is simply a network of branches with lateral buds on the sides and terminal buds on the main axis.
The bud at the tip of a stem?
Terminal bud
What the function of a lateral bud?
The lateral bud is responsible for the development of branches. Other buds are the terminal buds, which develop from the shoot.

Meristems producing new buds or root extensions?
Apical Meristems form root extensions. Apical meristems dont produce new buds but they are found in the terminal and axillary buds.
What is a lateral buds?
A lateral bud is a bud growing from the side of a shoot below the terminal bud.
What is the term for the point on a plant stem from which leaves grow?
Leaves develop from buds. A bud that grows out from an existing stem is called an axillary bud (buds that are at the tip of a developing stem are called terminal buds). The point of attachment between the stem and the petiole (the leaf stalk) is called a node.
What is Indeterminate and determinate growth?
Some plants will keep on growing, continuing extending their stems, branches, and twigs almost unstoppable by keep on growing their terminal buds vegetatively. The reproductive buds will also develop from time to time, but will side-lined as axillaries buds while the axillary buds just before that will take over the growth to extend the stem or the branches. This type of growth is called indeterminate growth. Examples of such plants are coconut trees, dates, rattans (example of monocotyledon groups), mangoes, pears, apples, mangosteens are some of the examples of the dicotyledonous plant groups. These type of plants that continuously produce fruits years after years, is grouped under perennial plantsThere are also plants that appeared to be stop growing any further once the terminal buds change from vegetative to reproductive buds. The terminal bud will develop into flowers and will further form fruits at the tip of the stem. The entire plants will be dead soon after that, unless there are other stems develop from the base of the plant such as sucker (example banana, sago) or the lower axillary buds will take over the growth of the plant (e.g., marigold, roses). This system of growth is called terminate growth
Do most conifers exhibit excurrent branching or deliquescent branching?
They exhibit excurrent branching because their terminal buds grow tall and straight with branches coming from a large central shaft.
What would happen if a plant's terminal bud was removed?
This will redirect the sap flow to the ancillary buds below and force them into growth giving more shoots but delaying flowering.
What does ivy buds meaning?
the ivy buds is buds ivy.
Where is neurotransmitter stored?
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles in the terminal bouton of pre-synaptic axons. They are released from the terminal bouton into the synaptic cleft and the neurotransmitters exert their action on the post-synaptic neurons.
