1.2 Tisu Meristem dan Pertumbuhan 1. There are two types of meristematic tissue: (a) Apical meristem found in the tips of shoot and root . (b) Lateral meristem found in vascular cambium and cork cambium . 2. The cells in meristem have an ability to divide by mitosis . Hence, the main role of meristem is to increase 3. the number of cells for growth. 3. The zones of cell growth Zone of cell division Zone of cell elongation Zone of cell differentiation 4. Types of Growth Primary Growth Secondary Growth 5. Comparison between Primary Growth and Secondary Growth in Eudicots 1.3 Growth Curves
Annual Plants Biennial Plants Perennial plants
• Stage A: Decreasing dry mass
Annual Plants Food stored in the cotyledon is used for germination before the leaves emerge to carry out photosynthesis. • Stage B: Increasing dry mass The rate of growth increases rapidly. This is because the plant has carried out photosynthesis. • Stage C: Constant dry mass -The rate of growth is zero. -Plant is matured at this stage. • Stage D: Decreasing dry mass Happens slowly because of aging, lower rate of photosynthesis, shedding of leaves and flowers and seed dispersal.
Biennial Plants
• First growth season:
-Plants produce leaves, photosynthesis takes place. -Food is stored in tubers. • Second growth season: -The food stored is used to produce flowers and seeds
Tumbuhan Saka
• Every year the growth curve is a sigmoid curve. Growth occurs
throughout the lifespan of the plant. • The rate of growth is high during spring and summer. High light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis. • The rate of growth decreases in winter.
