mention the functions each meristematic tissue

Answer 1

Properties of Meristematic Cells

Cells within meristematic tissues have special characteristics that make them unique when compared to cells in mature, specialized plant tissue. Cells within meristematic tissue are self-renewing, meaning that every time they divide, one new cell remains meristematic, while the second heads off to become a programmed or specialized mature cell.

Additionally, all cells within meristematic tissue are living, while other plant tissue can be made of both living and dead cells. Meristematic cells have thin cell walls, small or no vacuoles, which are stored organelles, and large prominent nucleus. This compares to the thick walls and small nucleus of programmed cells, which also have one or more large vacuoles. Also, meristematic cells contain a significant volume of dense liquid, while specialized cells have only a small quantity of think liquid.

Answer 2

meristematic tissues bring growth in plants and they also help in repairing damaged tissues
they r of 3 types

apical meristems..... they r present on tip of roots and at the tip of shoot of a plant. they bring growth in length of plant.

lateral meristems...... they bring growth in in width of a plant

intercalary meristems....... they r also called as CAMBIUM. they help the plant in growing branches
