Alright its that time to teach of growth my young padawons.

  • First off is the meristem. This is the part of the plant that is constantly dividing to form new tissue so the plant thus keeps growing.
  • The primary structure is growth of the buds to form leaves while secondary structure is the further growth of roots and stems.
  • The vascular cambium is the early stages of the vascular system in a plant.
  • Hormones involved in plants growth include auxin, cytokinin, ABA, and gibberlin. For now I'm going to take auxin and cytokinin for an example. Auxin is a harmone that coordinates growth and behavioral processes in a plant's development. Cytokinin is a hormone that promotes cell division and differentiation thus the growth of the plant.
  • A trophism is when there is a stimulus in the environment and a biological organism reacts to that. Here in my case there is limited sunlight where I have my plants during certain parts of the day. During the morning the sunporch outside blocks the sun and when it passes over around 4pm it get less and less sun as the window begins to block light as the sun moves west. Here is a great illustration of trophism as my baby corn is now leaning towards the source of sunlight.
