What to Focus On

  • Growth is irreversible and involves increase in cell number and size.
  • Development includes growth, differentiation, and maturation.
  • Morphogenesis is the formation of shape and structure.
  • Cell division increases the number of cells via mitosis.
  • Cell enlargement involves increase in cell size due to water uptake.
  • Cell differentiation leads to specialized cells forming tissues.
  • Sigmoid curve has three phases: lag, log, and stationary.
  • Lag phase: slow initial growth.
  • Log phase: rapid, maximum growth.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Growth and development mean the same thing in plants.

All plant cells grow throughout the plant body.

The sigmoid growth curve shows constant growth after a point.

Memory Tips

Three stages of cellular growth: Cell Division, Cell Enlargement, Cell Differentiation

Five major plant hormones: Auxin, Gibberellin, Cytokinin, Ethylene, Abscisic Acid

Auxin promotes cell elongation and apical dominance

Gibberellin breaks seed dormancy and promotes stem elongation
