Activity: Growth of Apical Meristem in Onion
Rooting for Growth!
What makes plants stretch taller and roots dig deeper? The secret lies in the apical meristem—tiny yet mighty regions filled with rapidly dividing cells!
Our Grade 9 scientists got hands-on with onion root tips, observing firsthand how these cell factories fuel plant growth. They discovered that if the tip is intact, growth continues—but once it is snipped, it all stops!
A fascinating peek into how nature builds from the ground up—literally!
