Question

Increased vacuolation, cell enlargement and new cell wall deposition are the characteristics of cells in phase of growth.

• A. Meristematic
• B. Elongation
• C. Maturation
• D. Differentiation

Answer 1

The correct option is B Elongation

• Phases of plant cell growth includes:
  
• Meristematic phase- The cells in the apex region of root and shoot have large nuclei, rich in protoplasm and cell walls are thin.
• Elongation phase- In this phase, cells enlarge, size of vacuole increases and new cell wall deposition takes place.
• Maturation phase- In this phase, cells mature and attains maximum size.

Differentiation- In this region, cells divide continuously.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Elongation.'
