Primary growth of plants is contributed by

D VINOD · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: D
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Primary growth in plants
	**Related Topics**: Plant meristems, Apical meristems, Intercalary meristems
	**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of plant anatomy and growth
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	* Question asks about the contribution to primary growth of plants.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the definition of primary growth in plants. Primary growth refers to the increase in length of the plant body, both root and shoot.
	2. Recall the function of apical meristems. Apical meristems (both root and shoot) are responsible for primary growth.
	3. Recall the function of intercalary meristems. Intercalary meristems also contribute to primary growth, specifically the elongation of internodes in some plants.
	4. Conclude that all options contribute to primary growth.
	
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Only root apical meristem is not the complete answer.
[B] :x: Only shoot apical meristem is not the complete answer.
[C] :x: Only intercalary meristem is not the complete answer.
[D] ✓: All the meristems listed contribute to the primary growth of plants.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing primary growth with secondary growth: Primary growth is for length, secondary growth is for width.
		2. Forgetting the role of intercalary meristems: They contribute to elongation in monocots and some other plants.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Remember 'apical' means 'at the tip', and these meristems are found at the tips of roots and shoots.
		2. 'Intercalary' means 'inserted in between'; these meristems are located in the internodes of certain plants.
