differentiate between meristematic tissue and permanent tissue.
Answers
Answer:
meristematic tissue:
- Can divide
- Undifferentiated cells
- Always simple tissues, composing of one type of cell only
- Always Living cells
permanent tissue.:
- Cannot divide
- Differentiated cells
- Can be simple or complex tissue. If complex, contains more than one type of cells
- Can be non-living(Sclerenchyma) or living(Parenchyma
Answer:
Meristematic tissue and permanent tissue are two types of tissues found in plants. The growth of the plant body occurs in two steps; the new cells are produced first, and then these cells are expanded by absorbing water by the vacuole. The cell division only occurs in meristematic tissue but, the expansion can occur anywhere on the plant body. The cell differentiation produces permanent tissue. The main difference between meristematic tissue and permanent tissue is that meristematic tissue consists of young living cells that are capable of continuously dividing and are responsible for the plant growth while permanent tissue consists of specialized cells that have lost their ability to divide and function as protective, conductive, and supportive tissue
