Question

3. Compare the following.
Apical meristem and lateral meristem.
b. parenchyma and collenchyma.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Apical meristems give rise to the primary plant body and are responsible for the extension of the roots and shoots. Lateral meristems are known as secondary meristems because they are responsible for secondary growth, or increase in stem girth and thickness.
2. The main difference between parenchyma collenchyma and sclerenchyma is that parenchyma cells are involved in photosynthesis, storage, and secretion, while collenchyma cells are involved in support and transportation of nutrients and sclerenchyma cells are involved in the support, protection, and transportation of water

$\small \underbrace{ \bf Lateral \: Meristems - }$

$\small \sf \:⬤ \: It \: is \: located \: in \: the \: stems \: and \: roots \\ \small \sf on \: the \: lateral \: side.$

$\small \sf \:◯ \: It \: helps \: in \: increasing \: the \: thickness \: of\: the \: plants$

$\small \sf ⬤ \: It \: produce \: secondary \: tissues.$

$\small \sf \:◯ \: Space \: is \: present \: between \: the \: cells.$

$\small \sf ⬤ \: It \: is \: made \: up \: of \: cellulose.$

$\small \underbrace{ \bf Collenchyma - }$

$\small \sf ⬤ \: It \: is \: located \: in \: leaves,stems \: and \: petioles.$

$\small \sf \:◯ \: They \: have \: only \: little \: intercellular \: spaces.$

$\small \sf ⬤ \: It \: is \: made \: up \: of \: cellulose \: and \: petioles.$
