How is the shoot apical meristem different from the root apical meristem?

The main difference betweem root and shoot apical meristem is that in case of root apical meristem dermatogen and periblem fuses at apex and give rise to calyptrogen which is responsible for the formation of root cap

What meristem does the root cap originates?
The root cap originates from the apical meristem in the plant. The root cap is directly responsible for gravity perception in the plant.
The area of active cell division in the onion root tip is called the?
Apical meristem
What is growth that makes stems grow taller or roots grow longer called?
The first part of a plant to grow is the root. The mesocotyle of the seed can be differentiated into epicotyle and hypocotyle.
What is the function of the root cap-?
A root cap is a small cone of cells that protects the growing part of a root as it makes its way through the soil, the root cap is found covering the tip of a root. Right behind the root cap is the part of the root where most of the root's growth occurs.
Meristems producing new buds or root extensions?
Apical Meristems form root extensions. Apical meristems dont produce new buds but they are found in the terminal and axillary buds.
What is a stem apex?
The point of the root meristem is called the root apical meristem, or the apex. The apex of the root meristem is covered by the root cap, which protects and guides its growth trajectory.
What is growth tissue that remains just behind the root tip?
the apical meristem
What is a root apical meristem protected by?
A root apical meristem is protected by a root cap as it pushes through the abrasive soil. The root cap also secretes a polysaccharide slime that lubricates the soil around the tip of the root.
What is the function of apical meristem?
Apical meristem is found at the tip of the root and shoot and is made of cells that divide at a rapid pace. The apical meristem helps the plant to grow up above the soil and down into the ground. This growth is called primary growth.
What meristem does the root cap originates?
The root cap originates from the apical meristem in the plant. The root cap is directly responsible for gravity perception in the plant.
Where does most of a root's growth occur?
Apical meristem.
Growth tissue that remains just behind the root tip?
apical meristem
The area of active cell division in the onion root tip is called the?
Apical meristem
In which part or parts of the root are plant cells most actively carrying mitosis?
Apical Meristem
What could be the function of the root cap.Which is made up of parenchyma cells found at the root tip?
Protecting the apical meristem as the root penetrates deeper into the soil
Where are auxins produced in plants?
- Made in the shoot apical meristem and travels downward in the phloem
New growth at the tips of a Coleus root and shoot takes place at the?
The meristem is the location at which new growth of the shoot and the tips of a coleus root takes place. Mitosis occurs in the undifferentiated cells found in the meristem.
