what is tissue? where is meristematic tissue found ? state any four characteristics of meristematic tissue
Answers
Tissues are groups of cells that have a similar structure and act together to perform a specific function
The intercalary nodes are located between areas of mature growth, kind of like the joint region on a plant. And in dicots, or plants with two seed leaves, primary meristematic tissues are found in apical regions--the tips of roots, shoots, and leaf and flower buds.
Characteristics of meristematic tissue
Meristematic tissue is a group of cells that has power of continuous division.
Cells are immature and young
Meristematic tissue is commonly called as meristems.
Shape of cell: each cell is oval, rounded, polygonal or rectangular
I hope it will help:)
A tissue is defined as a group of cells that possess a similar structure and perform a specific function.
A meristematic tissue has an immense potential for division. They have a nucleus and they are full of cytoplasm.
These generally divide and form the clump of cells which further undergoes maturation to form specialized cells.
They are located in specific regions of the plant, i.e, apical, lateral, intercalary.
Four characteristics of meristematic tissue :-
1. The cells of these tissues are commonly called meristems.
2. They have very small and few vacuoles.
3. The meristematic tissue is living and thin-walled.
4. The protoplasm of the cells is very dense
