The difference between arithmetic and geometric growth in plants is that:
1. Arithmetic growth involves an increase in size only, while geometric growth involves an increase in number
2. In arithmetic growth, one daughter cell continues to divide, while in geometric growth, both do
3. Arithmetic growth is exponential, while geometric growth is linear
4. Geometric growth involves cell division and enlargement, while arithmetic growth involves only division
