Primary & secondary growth

Growth in plants occur when

• stems lengthen

• roots lengthen

• increase in thickness

• growth fruit

The increase in length of the shoot and the root is

• primary growth

• secondary growth

• germination

• dormancy

The growth that results from cell division that causes the stems and roots to thicken is

• primary growth

• secondary growth

• germination

• dormancy

Growth that results in an increase in the length of a plant is referred as....................

• Horizontal growth

• Longitudinal growth

• Primary growth

• Secondary growth

The plant growth process that allows cells to become specialized is..........

• Cell division

• Cell differentiation

• Cell elongation

• Cell maturation

• epidermis

• Intercalary meristem

When a tree grows wider in trunk diameter, this is an example of which of the following?
