Growth and Development

Growth and Development Wonder Whizkids

From this App you can learn :

Define the term “meristem” and analyze how meristems help to increase the length and girth of the plant.

Identify the tissue systems of plants and explain their respective functions.

Describe and discuss the role of xylem and phloem in vascular plants.

Contrast the types of growth arising from apical and lateral meristems.

Explore how does the vascular tissue system enable leaves and roots to combine functions to support growth and development of the whole plant.

Describe and examine the tissue organization of stems and leaves that enable them to perform their functions.

Define “secondary growth” and analyze the functions of of vascular cambium in secondary growth.

Explore the role of cell division, cell differentiation and morphogenesis in plant growth and development.
