Q

What are meristems and what are they made up of?

A
  • Are areas of rapidly dividing cells

- Made up of meristematic tissue

37
Q

Name some functions of collenchyma cells

A
  • Support surrounding tissues
  • Provide flexibility for plant
  • Tissue repair and replacement
38
Q

What is the apical meristem?

A

A region beyond the root cap where the roots are growing longer due to the division of cells

39
Q

Why are the tips of a plant’s roots growing longer?

A

Division of cells in apical meristem
