CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The growth of plants occurs by cell division and cell enlargement. The cell enlarges its size before it undergoes division. Plants increase in mass and number is the characteristic of growth. Multicellular organisms grow by cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like other multicellular organisms, plants grow through a combination of cell growth and cell division. Cell growth increases cell size, while cell division (mitosis) increases the number of cells. As plant cells grow, they also become specialized into different cell types through cellular differentiation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell growth (cell enlargement) is as fundamental for growth of organisms as is cell division. Implicit in cell growth is an increase in cell size, i.e., cell enlargement. Without cell enlargement, no organism can continue to grow. Cells unable to enlarge eventually are unable to divide such that growth will cease.

Detailed explanation-4: -They grow through a combination of cell growth and cell division (mitosis). The key to plant growth is meristem, a type of plant tissue consisting of undifferentiated cells that can continue to divide and differentiate. Meristem allows plant stems and roots to grow longer (primary growth) and wider (secondary growth).

Detailed explanation-5: -For both plants and animals to grow, their cells must divide to produce more cells. In the process of cell division, one cell becomes two. This process is different in plant and animal cells because plant cells have cell walls.
