Answer 1

The correct option is D

A,B and C

Plant growth is irreversible permanent increases in size and mass. It involves acquisition of new structures and organs apart from increase in size. All these structures develop from a single celled zygote through cell division and differentiation. Plant growth is accomplished through metabolic processes which require energy. The metabolic processes are both catabolic (energy producing) and anabolic (biomolecule producing processes).
