Question

3) Explain meristimatic tissue ​

Answer 1

Meristematic tissues, or simply meristems, are tissues in which the cells remain forever young and divide actively throughout the life of the plant. When a meristematic cell divides in two, the new cell that remains in the meristem is called an initial, the other the derivative. As new cells are added by repeated mitotic divisions of the initial cells, the derivatives are pushed farther away from the zone of active division. They stretch, enlarge and differentiate into other types of tissues as they mature. Meristematic cells are generally small and cuboidal with large nuclei, small vacuoles, and thin walls.

Answer 2

Answer:

Meristematic tissues are capable of dividing or they have the ability to divide to form new cells in a plant. The meristematic tissues in plants have some specialized regions where cells actively divides are called meristems.                        

Meristems also give rise to permanent tissues and have the following characteristics:

• The cells are small

• The cells walls are thin
• Cells have large nuclei
• Vacuoles are absent or very small
• There are no intercellular spaces
