Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which part of the plant does primary growth occur?
Correct Answer: Root tips and shoot tips
  • Step 1: Understand what primary growth means. It is the process that makes a plant grow taller or longer.
  • Step 2: Identify where this growth happens. It occurs at the tips of the roots and the tips of the shoots (the top part of the plant).
  • Step 3: Learn about apical meristems. These are special cells located at the root tips and shoot tips that help the plant grow.
  • Step 4: Conclude that primary growth happens in the areas where apical meristems are found.
