New plant cells are produced at the ends of roots in meristems, which are clusters of tissue that are responsible for continuing growth throughout a plant's lifetime.

Note: The new cells produced in the meristem are undifferentiated.

What is the function of the tissue in a plant?

Meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells in mitosis.


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 found only in plant cells and produces chlorophyll?

Chloroplasts are found in plants leaves. They make the plant a green colour.


Lymphatic tissue is the only tissue in the body that?

Lymphatic tissue is the only tissue in the body that produces and houses lymphocytes, which are immune cells responsible for mounting an immune response against infections and foreign substances. This tissue also plays a crucial role in filtering and trapping pathogens and abnormal cells from the lymphatic fluid.


How is a plant or animal tissue different from just an aggregate of similar cells?

It starts with the cells. Since the tissues of both plants and animals are made up with cells that is where the main difference lies. Animal cells and plant cells are different. Plants cell have a cell wall and a cell membrane were animal cells only contain a cell membrane. Plant cells also have chloroplast which carries out photosynthesis and the animal cell does not. On top of that plant cells are more square in structure and animal cells, due to the lack of a cell wall, are more rounded.


Plant cells are totipotent which means?

plant donor cells have the ability to regenerate a complete new plant from one single cell (irrespective of what type of cell is used); this is not the same as in animal cells where only cells of the same type (tissue) can be cultured from a donor cell


What is tissue in cells?

Plant cells are formed at meristems, and then develop into cell types which are grouped into tissues. Plants have only three tissue types: 1) Dermal; 2) Ground; and 3) Vascular. 1)Dermal tissue covers the outer surface of herbaceous plants. Dermal tissue is composed of epidermal cells, closely packed cells that secrete a waxy cuticle that aids in the prevention of water loss. 2)The ground tissue comprises the bulk of the primary plant body. Parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells are common in the ground tissue. 3)Vascular tissue transports food, water, hormones and minerals within the plant. Vascular tissue includes xylem, phloem, parenchyma, and cambium cells.


What Is The Role Of Meristems In Plants?

Meristems are regions of actively dividing cells in plants responsible for growth and development. They give rise to new cells that differentiate into various tissues, helping in the production of new leaves, stems, and roots. Meristems play a crucial role in plant growth, repair, and adaptation to environmental changes.


What cells only produces muscle cells?

unipotent


What is the different of animal tissue from plant tissue?

Well, there are probably dozens, but here's one that I've heard of: plant cells have well-defined cell walls, whereas animal cells only have thin membranes, no walls. It's the thick cell walls that allow plant tissue to become rigid when the cell is filled with fluid - this is why plants wilt when they are not watered, and perk up when they are.... Animal cells would simply leak out excess fluid


Do both plant and animal cells have chloroplasts?

No, both plant and animal cells do not have chloroplast. Plant cells have chloroplast that is why their leaves are green. Such as animals they do not. K.K


What is differences between plant tissues and animal tissues?

Plant tissues are made up of cellulose and provide structural support to the plant, while animal tissues are composed of proteins and serve various functions like movement, coordination, and support. Plant tissues consist mainly of cells with a rigid cell wall, whereas animal tissues are composed of cells that may or may not have a cell wall. Plant tissues are typically organized into vascular, dermal, and ground tissues, while animal tissues are classified into epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues.
