Meristematic tissues

What is the primary function of meristematic tissues?

Photosynthesis

Reproduction

Growth and development

Nutrient absorption

Which of the following are types of meristematic tissues found in plants?

Which type of meristematic tissue is responsible for the thickening of stems and roots?

Apical meristem

Intercalary meristem

Lateral meristem

Procambium

What is the main difference between apical meristem and intercalary meristem?

Apical meristem is found at the tips of roots and shoots, while intercalary meristem is found in the middle of stems.

Apical meristem is responsible for primary growth, while intercalary meristem is responsible for secondary growth.

Apical meristem produces new cells through lateral division, while intercalary meristem produces new cells through longitudinal division.

Apical meristem is present in dicotyledonous plants, while intercalary meristem is present in monocotyledonous plants.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of meristematic tissues?

What is the function of the cork cambium in plants?

Producing new epidermal cells

Facilitating gas exchange

Providing mechanical support

Producing cork cells

Which type of meristematic tissue is responsible for the formation of new leaves and flowers?

Apical meristem

Lateral meristem

Intercalary meristem

Procambium

What is the primary function of intercalary meristem in grasses?

Producing secondary xylem and phloem

Facilitating water absorption

Promoting photosynthesis

Allowing for rapid leaf elongation

Which type of meristematic tissue is responsible for the production of new cells in the root cap?

Apical meristem

Lateral meristem

Intercalary meristem
