Explanation:
The Process Of Growth
Growth is seldom random. Rather, it occurs according to a plan that eventually determines the size and shape of the individual. Growth may be restricted to special regions of the organism, such as the layers of cells that divide and increase in size near the tip of the plant shoot.The rate of growth of various components of an organism may have important consequences in its ability to adapt to the environment and hence may play a role in evolution
In plants
The fact that most plant cells undergo extensive size increase unaccompanied by cell division is an important distinction between growth in plants and in animals. Daughter cells arising from cell division behind the tip of the plant root or shoot may undergo great increases in volume. This is accomplished through uptake of water by the cells; the water is stored in a central cavity called a vacuole. The intake of water produces a pressure that, in combination with other factors, pushes on the cellulose walls of the plant cells, thereby increasing the length, girth, and stiffness (turgor) of the cells and plant. In plants, much of the size increase occurs after cell division and results primarily from an increase in water content of the cells without much increase in dry weight.
