Plant Growth

The video tutorial explains plant growth, highlighting its indeterminate nature due to meristems. It covers methods to measure growth, such as fresh and dry weight, and discusses the phases of growth: meristematic, elongation, and maturation. Growth rates are calculated using arithmetic and geometric methods, with examples like root elongation and sigmoid curves. The video also outlines factors affecting growth, including temperature, light, oxygen, nutrients, and water.

What is the metabolic process that leads to an increase in the size of plant cells?

Explain the difference between indeterminate and determinant growth in plants and animals.

What role do meristems play in plant growth?

Describe the three phases of plant growth.

How is the growth rate of a plant calculated?

Differentiate between absolute growth rate and relative growth rate.

What are the necessary conditions for plant growth?
