Apical meristem is found at the tip of the root and shoot and is made of cells that divide at a rapid pace. The apical meristem helps the plant to grow up above the soil and down into the ground. This growth is called primary growth.

What is growth tissue that remains just behind the root tip?
the apical meristem
What will happen if apical meristem is damaged or cut?
if the apical meristem is damaged or cut the plant will not show growth.
What protects the meristem of a plant?
The meristematic region in the stem tip is referred to as the shoot apical meristem. Leaf primordia develop from the lateral flanks of the shoot apical meristem. They curve up during growth and the older larger primordia serve a protective function.
How does the structure of cells near the apical meristem compare with the structure of cells far from the apical meristem?
Cell division takes place at the meristem, so these cells may be undifferentiated. The meristem helps the plant grow.
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 happens at the apical meristem?
it is the big ones
What does stomata in hydrilla plant helps?
It helps it to grow. There are 3 meristem. They are: 1)Apical meristem 2)Intercalary meristem 3)Lateral meristem
What characteristitics if observed in an unidentified green organism would make it unlikely to be a charophyte phragmoplast- rosette cellulose- peroxisome- apical meristem- a and b?
apical meristem
Which of these components of roots is a differentiating region?
Apical meristem
Where does the majority of stem growth in plants occur?
Apical meristem.
Roots and shoots lengthen through activity at?
The apical meristem
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
