Answer 1

Hi friend

Your answer
--------------------

★ MERISTEMETIC TISSUE
---------------------------------------

◆ They have a true nucleus and dense cytoplasm.

◆ They lack vacuoles.

◆ They are oval shaped.

◆ They have thin cell wall made of cellulose.

◆ They have the power of division throughout life.


★ TYPES OF MERISTEMETIC TISSUES
--------------------------------------------------------

(1) Apical meristem : -
----------------------------------
It is found on the growing tips of the plant like root and stem and this helps in longitudinal growth of the plant.

(2) Lateral meristem : -
----------------------------------
It is found on the lateral sides of the plant and helps in transverse growth of the plant. It helps in increasing the girth or diameter of the cambium.

(3) Intercalary meristem : -
---------------------------------------
It is found below the bases of internodes of the leaves.

★ FUNCTIONS OF MERISTEMETIC TISSUES
------------------------------------------------------------------

◆ The main function of meristemetic tissues is cell division.

- They lack vacuoles because it provides turgidity and rigidity to the cell which makes it difficult to divide.

- They are capable of dividing throughout life, so they help in plant growth.

- Once they divide, they differentiate into different types of cell like Parenchyma, Collenchyma and Sclerenchyma cells and take up several tasks.
