Question

Which of the following features are found in cells of meristematic tissues in plants?
1. Cells active with thick cellulose walls
2. Cells active with little cytoplasm and thin cellulose walls
3. Cells active with dense cytoplasm, think cellulose walls, and no nuclei
4. Cell active with dense cytoplasm, thin cellulose walls and prominent nuclei

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Cell active with dense cytoplasm, thin cellulose walls and prominent nuclei

The correct answer is Cell active with dense cytoplasm, thin cellulose walls, and prominent nuclei.

• Plant Meristematic tissues are active cells or groups of active cells that have the ability to divide.
• They are present at the various part in a plant, including near the tips of roots and stems, which helps in the primary (apical and intercalary meristem) and secondary growth (lateral meristem) in plants.
• They are characterized by thin cell walls, large cell nuclei, dense cytoplasm, small cells, absent or small vacuoles, and no intercellular spaces.
