Where does a plant's most active growth take place?

A plant's most active growth typically takes place at the tips of its roots and shoots, where new cells are constantly dividing and elongating. This area is known as the meristem, and it is responsible for increasing the length and height of the plant.


Why do plants turn toward the sun?

Imagine for a moment: A plant growing in the center of an empty field, and the sun is rising exactly due east. This means that the eastern side of the plant is facing the sun. During this day, the eastern side of the plant will grow very little while the sun is on the eastern side; however, while the sun is on the eastern side of the plant, the opposite side of our plant will be growing. This causes the plant's western side to grow longer, yet the eastern side closest to the sun remains the same. If you have one side longer than the other, this causes a slouching over effect, just like someone with bad posture. Short answer: A plant's side opposite to the sun grows while the side facing the sun grows very little.

Where does mitosis actively take place in plant cell?

Mitosis actively takes place in the meristematic tissues of plants, which are regions of undifferentiated cells. These tissues are primarily found at the tips of roots and shoots (apical meristems) and in the vascular cambium and cork cambium (lateral meristems). Mitosis allows for growth and the production of new cells, contributing to the plant's overall development and tissue regeneration.

What are good plant experiments?

Lay a cardboard box on its side. Take a box and cut a hole in a side. If it is rectangular, make the hole on a smaller side. Stack some small objects in the side next to the hole. Do not plug up the hole. Plant some beans in a flower pot. When they begin to sprout, place the pot on the side of the box opposite of the hole. Close the box and tape it up. Check the plant every two days and water it. Tape the box up after checking on the plant. Try this with a TickleMe Plant and not only will your plant move towards the sunlight (photo-tropism) but your plant will move when you tickle it (thigmotropism).

Can you plant a tulip that has already grown shoots and can you plant it indoors?

Yes, you can plant a tulip that has sprouted although obviously it is better to do so before this happens. Take care not to snap the roots while planting, and they will do a lot better than if you don't plant them. You can place it indoors if it can receive enough light, but once flowering has finished, it is best outdoors to enable it to receive the maximum amount of sun. Then it can store up reserves for next year's growth.

What's Suckers mean?

It depends on the context.Candy: Suckers are lollipops.Gardening: Suckers are shoots that grow at the base of plants. They are often like branches or similar to the main stalk, but they are usually skinny, don't yield fruit, and don't contribute to the plant. They usually take energy from the main plant. So they are considered useless parts of a plant.Slang: Suckers are stupid, or gullible persons. They are often easy to take advantage of and may believe anything.
