What else can I help you with?
What region of a root has the most mitotic activity?
Mitosis would only be happening in the root tip because that is where the roots are growing.
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
What is a stem apex?
A stem apex refers to the tip of a plant's stem where the newest growth occurs. It is responsible for the plant's upward growth and the production of new leaves and flowers. The stem apex contains meristematic tissue that allows for continuous growth.
What is growth tissue that remains just behind the root tip?
The root cap is the growth tissue that remains just behind the root tip. It protects the delicate meristem as the root pushes through soil and aids in root growth by secreting lubricating substances.
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 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.
Roots and shoots lengthen through activity at?
Roots lengthen through cell division at the root tip in the zone of elongation, while shoots lengthen through cell division in the apical meristem located at the shoot tip. The apical meristem is responsible for the growth of new cells and tissues in both roots and shoots, allowing the plant to increase in length.
In which region of a root do you find undifferentiated cells?
the undifferentiated cell is located in the ground meristem region.
Where is meristem often found?
Often found in the tip of plant root
What is the structure of roots in plants?
Roots in plants typically consist of the root cap, apical meristem, zone of elongation, zone of differentiation, and root hairs. The root cap protects the apical meristem as the root grows, while the apical meristem is responsible for the primary growth of the root. The zone of elongation allows the root to increase in length, and the zone of differentiation is where specialized cells develop to carry out specific functions. Root hairs increase the surface area of the root for better absorption of water and nutrients.
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
