Question

Difference between lateral intercalary and apical meristematic

Answer 1

Apical meristem brings about elongation of stem and roots and intercalary meristem produces an increase in the length of the plant organs

Answer 2

Answer:

Apical meristems are present at the apices (tips) of roots and shoots. They are concerned with the extension of plant length. They cause increase in plant length, so, they play important role in primary growth.

Intercalary meristems are the parts of apical meristems separated by sheet of permanent cells. These are situated at base of internodes in most plants. They are concerned with secondary growth.

Lateral meristems are the meristems present in roots, stems and branches.

In transverse section, there position is away from centre. These meristems are responsible for production of new leaves and flowers.
