What to Focus On

  • Growth is an irreversible permanent increase in size of plant organs or cells
  • Plant growth is indeterminate and continues throughout life
  • Higher plants have specialized growth regions called meristems

  • Three phases of growth: meristematic, elongation, and differentiation
  • Meristematic phase: actively dividing cells with rich protoplasm
  • Elongation phase: cells increase in size through vacuolation

  • Growth rate measures increase in growth per unit time
  • Arithmetic growth: linear pattern with constant rate
  • Geometric growth: exponential pattern producing S-curve

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Growth and Development are the same thing

Arithmetic growth produces a straight line and geometric growth produces a curved line

Auxins always promote growth in all plant parts
