Question

1. Assertion : Lateral meristems are present along the side of various organs in plants. Reason: These help in the healing of wounds in plants.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

A meristem is the tissue in most plants containing undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells), found in zones of the plant, where growth can take place. Meristematic cells give rise to various organs of the plant and keep the plant growing. The shoot apical meristem (SAM) gives rise to organs, like the leaves and flowers, while the root apical meristem (RAM) provides the meristematic cells for the future root growth.

Answer 2

Both assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

Explanation:

• The lateral meristems of a shrub are located on the side of the xylem vessels.
• These meristems assist in the thickening of the plants.
• A laterally meristems cell is the vascular cambium, which is comparable to the cork cambium.
• After an accident, many flora and fauna regenerate tissues and even whole organs.
• Usually, segregated settings at the wound site return to a 'pluripotent' state, which means they recover the capacity to differentiate into the numerous cell types necessary for repair, in a process called dedifferentiation.  
• Vitamins A, C, and zinc help your body repair tissue damage, fight infections and maintain a healthy complexion.
