Question

Give reason for the following:(1) the cell of meristematic tissue have dense cytoplasm thin walls and prominent nuclei(2) vacuoles are absent in the cell of this tissue

Answer 1

Meristematic cells have a prominent nucleus and a dense cytoplasm but lack a vacuole, this is so because meristematic cells have an ability to divide and form new cell. Vacuoles have a function of storing food and other nutrients that a cell might need to survive. But, there is no point in storing food and other nutrients when the cell has to divide.

Answer 2

Hey friend!!

Meristematic cells have dense cytoplasm and prominent nuclei because they are actively dividing cells ,so they require cytoplasm and nucleus to control their activities.

Vacuole has the function of storing food ,but in meristematic tissue ,cells keep on dividing and their is no need of storing anything. So vacuoles are absent in the cells of meristematic tissue.



Hope this helps u
