difference between meristematic tisses and permanent tisses?
Answers
Answer:
meristematic tissues contain that cells which have only primary cell wall layer and continues growth and division. it is generally present at growing tips of plants like tip of root, bud, tip of stem due to its property of fast division.
permanent tissues are those which have a layer of secondary wall inside the primary wall which makes it thick. they do not divide further and forms permanent hard parts of the plant.
Answer:
Explanation:
Differences between meristematic tissue and permanent tissue:
1)Meristematic tissue-Cells are small, spherical or polygonal and undifferentiated.
Permanent tissue-Cells are large and differentiated.
2)Meristematic tissue-Vacuoles are nearly absent.
Permanent tissue-Large central vacuole present.
3)Meristematic tissue-Intercellular spaces are absent.
Permanent tissue-Intercellular spaces are often present.
4)Meristematic tissue-Cell wall of cells is thin and elastic.
Permanent tissue-Cell wall of cells is thin or thick.
5)Meristematic tissue-Nucleus is large and prominent.
Permanent tissue-Nucleus is less conspicuous.
6)Meristematic tissue-Cells are living.
Permanent tissue-Cells may be living or dead.
7)Meristematic tissue-Provides growth to the plant.
Permanent tissue-Provides protection, support, conduction, photosynthesis, and storage for the plant.
