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
