When plant cells divide why does growth only continue at the tip of the plant?

Because the apical parts in plants have meristematic cells without differentiation into permanent cells. Also apical buds having active cell division have lesser quantity of growth promoting hormones like IAA and cytokinins etc.

Meristems are regions of what?
These regions, where cells continuously divide, are where plant growth originates.
What is the function of ground meristem?
To divide by mitosis and produce new cells which will then differentiate into various new specialised tissues.
How does growth take place in a plant and where it take place in a plant?
The growth in plants takes place in root and shoot apices. Some intercallary meristem cells also divide and add to growth.
What happens to the cell when a organism grows larger?
Cells in a multi-cellular organism are usually not dramatically effected by that organism's growth. They will continue to grow until they are large enough where they need to divide. This process will always continue. In humans, when we have growth-spurts as children and young adults, are bodies release chemicals that tell our cells to reproduce faster.
What creates cells and aids in plant growth?
meristematic tissue (:

Why do after plant cells divide growth only continues at the tip of a plant?
it doesn't plant's get thicker with time.

What happens in meristem regions of plants?
These regions, where cells continuously divide, are where plant growth originates.

What happens in primary growth of a vascular plant?
Cells divide very rapidly at root and shoot apices
When plant cells divide what do they form?
It form into two different cells
What is the function of apical meristem?
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 are some types of cells that have been transformed?
transformed cell lines divide more rapidly and do not require attachment to surface for growth, the loose contact inhibition, when reintroduced to animals may form tumours
What type of organisms use meiosis to divide?
plant and animal cells
