Growth at apical meristems occurs through cell enlargement and division, followed by differentiation into various tissues. Growth happens in sections called nodes, leaving behind inactive axillary buds.

| Front | describe growth at apical meristems |
|---|---|
| Back | due to cell enlargement and repeated cell division, differentiation gives rise to a variety of tissues/structures, growth occurs in sections (nodes), remaining meristem tissue forms inactive axillary bud |
