Sort the terms and phrases as to whether they function in or describe primary growth or secondary growth?
Place each term or phrase to the appropriate bin. If the term or phrase describes both primary and secondary growth, place it to the "both" bin. If the term or phrase describes neither primary nor secondary growth, drag it to the "neither" bin.

Thanks dude!
thanks man!
To determine whether each term or phrase functions in or describes primary growth or secondary growth, we can analyze their characteristics and properties. Here's how to sort them into the appropriate bins:
1) Apical meristem:
- Apical meristem refers to the growing point located at the tips of roots and shoots.
- It contributes to primary growth by adding length to the plant.
- Bin: Primary growth
2) Cork cambium:
- Cork cambium is a lateral meristem responsible for the production of cork cells in the bark.
- It is involved in secondary growth that increases the plant's girth or thickness.
- Bin: Secondary growth
3) Elongation:
- Elongation refers to the process of cells increasing in length.
- It primarily contributes to primary growth by elongating the shoots and roots.
- Bin: Primary growth
4) Provides structural support:
- This phrase does not specifically describe primary or secondary growth but refers to the function of certain plant tissues.
- It does not exclusively belong to primary or secondary growth.
- Bin: Neither
5) Increases exposure to light:
- This phrase does not specifically describe primary or secondary growth but refers to a consequence of plant growth.
- It does not exclusively belong to primary or secondary growth.
- Bin: Neither
6) Increases vascular flow:
- This phrase does not describe primary or secondary growth but refers to the effect of certain growth processes on the plant's vascular system.
- It does not exclusively belong to primary or secondary growth.
- Bin: Neither
7) Growth in thickness:
- Growth in thickness is associated with secondary growth.
- It is the main characteristic of secondary growth.
- Bin: Secondary growth
8) Occurs in plants that live many years:
- This phrase does not describe growth directly but refers to a type of plants.
- It does not exclusively belong to primary or secondary growth.
- Bin: Neither
9) Occurs in plants that live only one year:
- This phrase does not describe growth directly but refers to a type of plants.
- It does not exclusively belong to primary or secondary growth.
- Bin: Neither
10) Lateral meristem:
- Lateral meristem is responsible for secondary growth.
- It adds girth to the plant by producing secondary tissues.
- Bin: Secondary growth
11) Vascular cambium:
- Vascular cambium is a lateral meristem involved in secondary growth by producing secondary xylem and phloem.
- It contributes to the plant's girth or thickness.
- Bin: Secondary growth
Bins:
a) Primary growth
b) Secondary growth
c) Both
d) Neither
Based on the explanations given, we can place each term or phrase in the appropriate bin:
1) Apical meristem: a) Primary growth
2) Cork cambium: b) Secondary growth
3) Elongation: a) Primary growth
4) Provides structural support: d) Neither
5) Increases exposure to light: d) Neither
6) Increases vascular flow: d) Neither
7) Growth in thickness: b) Secondary growth
8) Occurs in plants that live many years: d) Neither
9) Occurs in plants that live only one year: d) Neither
10) Lateral meristem: b) Secondary growth
11) Vascular cambium: b) Secondary growth
