Question

Sort the terms and phrases as to whether they function in or describe primary growth or secondary growth?

Place each term or phrase to the appropriate bin. If the term or phrase describes both primary and secondary growth, place it to the "both" bin. If the term or phrase describes neither primary nor secondary growth, drag it to the "neither" bin.
1) apical meristem
2) cork cambium
3) elongation
4) provides structural support
5) increases exposure to light
6) increases vascular flow
7) growth in thickness
8) occurs in plants that live many years
9) occurs in plants that live only one year
10) lateral meristem
11) vascular cambium
Bins:_________.
a) primary growth
b) secondary growth
c) both
d) neither

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase in length of the shoot and the root is termed to as primary growth of a plant. It occurs as a result of cell division in the apical meristem. Secondary growth is identified by an increase in thickness or girth of the plant caused by cell division in the cambia or lateral meristems.

1) apical meristem- primary growth

2) cork cambium - secondary growth

3) elongation - primary growth

4) provides structural support - secondary growth

5) increases exposure to light - primary growth

6) increases vascular flow - secondary growth

7) growth in thickness - secondary growth

8) occurs in plants that live many years - both primary and secondary growth

9) occurs in plants that live only one year - primary growth

10) lateral meristem - secondary growth

11) vascular cambium - secondary growth.
