what is the difference between apical and lateral meristems?
a. apical meristems are involved with the growth of the plant while lateral meristems are
involved with the transport of food and water
b. apical meristems allow the plant to grow up and lateral meristems allow the plant to
grow out
c. lateral meristems are involved with the growth of the plant while apical meristems are
involved with the transport of food and water
d.lateral meristems allow the plant to grow up and apical meristems allow the plant to
grow out - Correct Ans-b. apical meristems allow the plant to grow up and lateral
meristems allow the plant to grow out

a. tissues in most plants containing undifferentiated cells, found in zones of the plant
where growth can take place
b. stem cell areas of dark heartwood, surrounded by light sapwood
c. tissues that have no identity, that generate dermal, ground and vascular tissue, but
stop being active after embryogenesis
d. leaf stems that continuously produce new cells to enable plant growth - Correct Ans-
a. tissues in most plants containing undifferentiated cells, found in zones of the plant
where growth can take place
