Question

Sort the terms and phrases as to whether they function in or describe primary growth or secondary growth. Drag each term or phrase to the appropriate bin. If the term or phrase describes both primary and secondary growth, drag it to the "both" bin. If the term or phrase describes neither primary nor secondary growth, drag it to the "neither" bin.Here are the terms: Apical meristem, elongation, increases exposure to light, cork cambium, vascular cambium, occurs in plants that live only one year, growth in thickness, lateral meristems, increases vascular flow, provides structural support, occurs in plants that live many years

Answer 1

Answer:

Apical meristem - primary growth

Elongation - primary growth

Exposure to light - Both

Vascular cambium - secondary growth

Cork cambium - secondary growth

occurs in plant that live only one year - primary growth

growth in thickness- secondary growth

lateral meristem - secondary

increases vascual flow - secondary growth

structural support - secondary growth

occurs in plant that live many years - both

Explanation:

Primary growth is the result of cell division in the shoot apical meristem. it is characterized by the increase in length of the shoot and the root. Therefore, apical meristem, elongation determines the length of the plant and for plants that live only one year, example is herbaceous plants only undergo primary growth.

Secondary growth is characterized by an increase in thickness or girth of the plant. it is caused by cell division in the lateral meristem. this growth also gives structural support to the plant.

Exposure of light functions both in primary and secondary growth
