Question

Give reason meristematic cells have a prominent nucleus and dense cytoplasm but lack vacuoles

Answer 1

Meristematic cells are highly dividing cells of a plant and they require energy for this purpose ,and energy comes from the glucose they make .because they need energy frequently they do not have much food to store in,so they do not have vacuole and have a prominent and large nucleus .these cells have a protective function ,which is, not to allow any germs to enter in plant so they lack intercellular spaces and have a dence cytoplasm
