differentiate between meristematic tissue and vascular tissue?
Answers
Answer:
Vascular tissue transports water, minerals, and sugars to different parts of the plant. Vascular tissue is made of two specialized conducting tissues: xylem and phloem. Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant, and also plays a role in structural support in the stem.
Meristematic tissue is that kind of tissue that is actively dividing whereas in the case of ground tissue the cells are incapable of dividing and it is a kind of permanent tissue.
Meristematic tissue consists of parenchyma cells whereas ground tissue consists of collenchyma and sclerenchyma;
Meristematic tissue found in the tip of the shoot, bud, and roots but ground tissue found in between the dermal and vascular portion of stem roots and leaves.
