Meristematic tissues are cells or group of cells that have the ability to divide. These tissues in a plant comprise small, densely packed cells that can keep dividing to form new cells. Meristems have the following characteristics:
- The cells are small,
- The cells walls are thin,
- Cells have large nuclei,
- Vacuoles are absent or very small
- There are no intercellular spaces
What else can I help you with?
What three kinds of tissues does meristematic tissue develop into?
Meristematic tissue develops into epidermal tissue, vascular tissue, and ground tissue. Epidermal tissue forms the outer layer of the plant, vascular tissue conducts water and nutrients, and ground tissue provides support and storage.
Which tissue is capable of division and differenciation?
Meristem tissue is capable of cell division and differentiation in plants. This tissue helps in the growth and development of new plant cells and tissues.
What function is performed in the ground tissue of a plant but not in the meristematic tissue?
Many different functions are performed by ground tissue including photosynthesis, storage, and support. Ground tissue makes up the majority of the plant structure and is composed of three cell types: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells.
From where do all plant tissues originate?
All plant tissues originate from meristematic cells, which are found in the growing regions of the plant such as the root and stem tips. These meristematic cells continually divide and differentiate into various types of plant tissues, including vascular, epidermal, and ground tissues.
The tissue that carries food to all parts of the plant is?
it's called the phloem. the tissue type is meristematic tissue.
Are undifferentiated cells found in meristematic tissue?
Yes, undifferentiated cells are found in meristematic tissue. Meristematic tissue is responsible for plant growth and contains actively dividing cells that have the ability to differentiate into various types of plant tissues.
What is the difference between meristematic and permanent tissue?
Meristematic tissues have the capacity to divide while permanent tissue lost the capacity of division. Meristematic tissue have thin cellulose walls while permanent tissue has a thick cellulose wall.
What are the tissue cells of a plant organ?
Plant tissue systems fall into one of two general types: meristematic tissue and permanent (or non-meristematic) tissue. Cells of the meristematic tissue are found in meristems, which are plant regions of continuous cell division and growth.
Is most of a plant consists of meristematic tissue tissue?
It is still growing.
What is the function of the tissue in a plant?
Meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells in mitosis.
What meristematic tissue increases the diameter of roots and stems?
cambium
The meristematic tissue that produces the outer covering of stems is called?
no
Where on a plant would you find meristematic tissue?
The meristematic tissue on a plant is found at the regions of active growing points such as shoot and root apices and intercalary regions having cambial activity.
What three kinds of tissues does meristematic tissue develop into?
Meristematic tissue develops into epidermal tissue, vascular tissue, and ground tissue. Epidermal tissue forms the outer layer of the plant, vascular tissue conducts water and nutrients, and ground tissue provides support and storage.
Does the petal contain meristematic tissue?
No, you would find it in the root area
Which is a type of tissue both plants and animals have?
The protective tissue
What is the difference between meristematic tissues from permanent tissues?
Meristematic tissues are responsible for cell division and growth, leading to plant growth and development. Permanent tissues are derived from meristematic tissues and have specialized functions like storage, support, and transport. Meristematic tissues are found at the growing tips of roots and shoots, while permanent tissues are found throughout the plant body.
