Question

what is meristematic tissue? Explain the types of tissue on basis of its location in plants body​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is a type of tissue found in plants

Apical meristem: They are present at the tips of stems, roots, and branches. They are responsible for the axial growth in a plant.

Intercalary meristem: They are present at the base of internodes, and are responsible for the growth of internodal region.

Lateral meristem: They are present on the lateral side of stems and roots. Lateral meristem is responsible for the radial growth of plants. Vascular cambium and cork cambium are examples of lateral meristem.

Answer 2

$\huge\fbox\pink{Answer}$

Meristematic tissue:

Meristematic tissues, or simply meristems, are tissues in which the cells remain forever young and divide actively throughout the life of the plant.

Types:

• Dermal
• Ground
• Vascular

Function:

Dermal tissue:

Dermal tissue covers and protects the plant, and controls gas exchange and water absorption (in roots). Dermal tissue of the stems and leaves is covered by a waxy cuticle that prevents evaporative water loss.

_________________________________

Ground tissue:

Ground tissue carries out different functions based on the cell type and location in the plant, and includes parenchyma (photosynthesis in the leaves, and storage in the roots), collenchyma (shoot support in areas of active growth), and schlerenchyma (shoot support in areas where growth has ceased).

_________________________________

Vascular tissue:

Vascular tissue transports water, minerals, and sugars to different parts of the plant.

_________________________

Location:

Dermal tissue:

Dermal tissue is found covering the younger primary parts of a plant. These include leaves, roots, stems, flowers, fruits, and seeds.

_________________________________

Ground tissue:

Ground tissue comprises the majority of a young plant and lies between the vascular and dermal tissues.

_________________________________

Vascular tissue:

They typically occur together in vascular bundles in all plant organs, traversing roots, stems, and leaves.
