Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Meristematic cells are the plant stem cells that divide continuously. These cells do not differentiate into other cells. There are three types of meristematic tissue present in the plant that are apical, lateral and intercalary meristematic tissues.

Students have asked these similar questions
A unique feature of plants is indeterminate growth. Indeterminate growth is possible because a. meristematic regions for primary growth occur throughout the entire plant body. b. all cell types in a plant often give rise to meristematic tissue. c. meristematic cells continually replace themselves. d. all cells in a plant continue to divide indefinitely.
Which of the following statements about age gradients within the plant body is FALSE? Select one: a. Age gradients within the plant body include an apical-basal gradient where the youngest cells are near the apices (tips of shoots and roots). b. Age gradients within the plant body reflect the plant cells’ lack of mobility due to their shared walls. c. Phloem is oldest toward the outermost cell layers of the tree trunk and xylem is oldest toward the innermost cell layers of a tree trunk. d. All of the statements are true. e. Age gradients within the plant cells include walls that are youngest immediately adjacent to the plasma membrane and progressively older toward the middle lamella.
Cell modification is the change in the structure of cell to carry out specialized function. Which of the following words will BEST describe the cell modification? A. alteration B. differentiation C. evolution D. mutation You learned that cells are structurally modified so that they can perform their function efficiently and effectively. Which of the following structures have specialized functions due to cell modification? I.Guard cells II. Haemoglobin. III. Trichomes IV. Xylem vessels A. I, II and III B. I, II and IV C. I, III, and IV D. I, II, III, and IV Which of the following statements best illustrate the adaptation and function of nodified cell? A. The xylem in the leaf helps the leaf to be positioned horizontally towards the sun . B. The hair-like structure in the root helps to increase the surface area of root hair cell C. Red blood cell has biconcave for increasing its surface area thus diffusion of oxygen in and out of the cell becomes easy. D. Guard cells are specialized in…
