Biology

Primary Growth 
The root system also has an apical meristem, known as the root apical meristem<span>. This acts in much the same way as the shoot apical meristem, causing extension growth. The main difference is this growth goes down into the ground, and roots, not leaves and branches, come from the root apical meristem. 
</span>Secondary Growth
<span>The width of a plant, or its girth, is called </span>secondary growth<span> and it arises from the </span>lateral meristems<span> in stems and roots. As with apical meristems, lateral meristems are regions of high cell division activity. However, the cells they make grow outward rather than upward or downward. Eudicots use lateral meristems to add to their width; monocots, however, do not experience secondary growth.</span>

What are 2 differences between bacteria and archaeans?
NeTakaya

Answer:

1. Bacteria cannot live above 100 degrees Celsius; archaea can thrive in extreme temperatures. Archaea are actually extremophiles. They can survive in extreme physical and geochemical conditions.

2. Bacterial cell walls have peptidoglycan (mesh-like structure also known as murein); archaeal cell walls do not have peptidoglycan.
