    Study Notes

    Meristem Functions

    • The main function of intercalary meristem is to increase the length of stems and roots
    • Apical meristem is generally found at the tips of shoots and roots
    • Lateral meristem (vascular cambium) is responsible for the increase in the girth of the plant

    Meristematic Tissue

    • The function of meristematic tissue in plants is to produce new cells through mitosis, enabling growth and development

    Plant Tissues

    • Sclerenchyma tissue is made up of dead cells and provides mechanical strength to plants

    False Statement

    • The false statement about plant tissues is still unknown (needs more context)

    Lateral Meristem Function

    • The primary function of lateral meristem in plants is to increase the girth of stems and roots

    Apical Meristem Location

    • Apical meristems are generally found at the tip of shoots and roots

    Growth Comparison

    • In contrast to plants, animals exhibit determinate growth, meaning their body parts stop growing once they reach a certain size, whereas plants exhibit indeterminate growth, with meristems continuously producing new cells

    Tissue Specialization

    • Connective tissue is responsible for the localized, specialized structural organization in animals
