Explain

In AQA GCSE Biology, Explain means give a linked reason, mechanism, or cause-and-effect account rather than naming a fact. For Plant tissues, organs and systems, use Explain to support the objective to explain the role of meristem tissue at the growing tips of shoots and roots. Related approved keywords for this objective include meristem. This definition is deliberately scoped to Plant tissues, so it preserves this concept without merging it with neighbouring key terms.
