Question 28:
1)Does the growth pattern in plants differ from that in animals? Do all the parts of plant grow indefinitely?
2)If not, name the regions of a plant, which can grow indefinitely.

1)Does the growth pattern in plants differ from that in animals? Do all the parts of plant grow indefinitely?
2)If not, name the regions of a plant, which can grow indefinitely.
1)Growth in plants is of indeterminate type, i.e., plants grow throughout their life because of the presence of meristematic tissues present in specific parts of plants i.e., apical intercalary and lateral. This tissue has the ability to divide continuously and contribute to localized plant growth.
Growth in animals- They have a limited growth period after which further growth of their body stops.
2)All the parts of the plant do not grow indefinitely. The root apex and shoot apex having apical meristematic tissues keep growing, thus contributing to the elongation of plants axis-(height).
