Meristematic tissue occurs in

  1. Stems

  2. Roots

  3. All growing tips

  4. Both of the (A) and (B)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • Meristem is the region marked by the presence of active cell growth and the tissues present in meristem are termed as meristematic tissues.
  • On the basis of their position in the plant body, meristems are grouped as apical, lateral or intercalary meristem.
  • Stem has apical meristem in the shoot apex, intercalary meristem in nodes and lateral meristem in form of cambium in vascular bundles.
  • Roots have apical meristem root apex and lateral meristem in form of cambium in vascular bundles. Shoot and root tips are the growing tips of a plant. Due to presence of root cap in terminal position, root apical meristem is subterminal in position thus, not all the growing tips have meristem.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

Meristems are

  1. Permanent cells

  2. Dividing cells

  3. Mechanical cells

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A meristem is the tissue in most plants containing undifferentiated cells, found in zones of the plant, where growth can take place. Meristematic cells give rise to various organs of the plant and keep the plant growing. The shoot apical meristem gives rise to organs like the leaves and flowers, while the root apical meristem provides the meristematic cells for the future root growth. 

So, meristems are dividing cells and not permanent cells as, they differentiate to give various organs
So, the correct answer is 'Dividing cells'

Periblem form

  1. Endodermis

  2. Cortex

  3. Both of (A) and (B)

  4. Epidermis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Histogen theory was proposed by Hanstein in 1870. According to this theory,  shoot apical meristem consists three distinct zones namely, dermatogen (external layer) which form outer covering of all organ of plant. Periblem (middle layer) which gives rise to cortex and endodermis. Plerome (central layer) which forms pith and primary vascular bundle. 
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Based on development stage, tissues can be 

  1. Apical and intercalary meristems

  2. Meristematic and permanent

  3. Primary and secondary meristem

  4. Promeristem and primordial meristems


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • On the basis of developmental stages the tissues in plants can be divided into:-
1) Meristematic tissues are undifferentiated tissues which are first formed tissues in a plant body.
  • They consist of actively dividing cells with no specific function.
  • They help in the primary and secondary growth in plants.
Eg- apical meristematic tissues.
2) Permanent tissues are differentiated tissues which are formed from the meristematic tissues which have lost the ability to divide.
  • These tissues perform specific functions in plants.
  • They help in photosynthesis, storage of food etc.
Eg- xylem.
So, the correct answer is 'Meristematic and permanent'.

Greek word meristos used in term meristem means

  1. Divided

  2. Young

  3. Tissue

  4. Tip


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • A meristem is a tissue which is composed of undifferentiated cells found in the regions of the plant where growth takes place.
  • The various organs of a plant are derived from a meristem.
  • The word meristem is derived from a Greek word 'merizein' which means 'to divide'.
  • Another Greek term used in relation to meristem is 'meristos' which means 'divisible'.
  • Thus, meristematic cells are those cells which have the power to divide continuously. So, the correct answer is 'Divided'.

    The term meristem was given by:

    1. C.Nageli

    2. Hanstein

    3. Strasburger

    Correct Option: A
    Explanation:

    The term meristem was first used in 1858 by Carl Wilhelm von Nägeli in his book Beiträge zur Wissenschaftlichen Botanik. So, the correct answer is " C. Nageli".

    Which is not a feature of meristematic tissue?

    1. Plastids are present in proplastid stage

    2. Cell wall made up of cellulose

    3. Absence of reserve food

    4. Absence of intercellular spaces and nucleus


    Correct Option: C
    Explanation:

    Meristematic tissues are the undifferentiated cells that are found in the growth zones. It gives rise to various organs. They have plastids that are not differentiated and present in the form of proplastid. The cell wall of the meristematic cell is made up of cellulose, the cell wall is thin and flexible while the secondary wall is absent. Cells lack intercellular spaces and also lack reserve food as it is highly active and does not require any reserve food for energy.

    So. the correct option is 'Absence of reserve food'.

    Which one of the following pairs is correctly matched? 

    1. Meristem - Actively dividing cells

    2. Xylem - Transport of food

    3. Phloem - Transport of water

    4. Sclerenchyma - Storage of starch


    Correct Option: A
    Explanation:

    A.Meristem – actively dividing cells – true

    B.Xylem – Transport of food – false, because it transport water.

    C.Phleom – Transport of water – false, because it transport food.

    D.Sclerenchyma – Storage of starch – false, because it is dead mechanical tissue.

    So, the correct option is ‘Meristem – Actively dividing cells’.

    Which of the following are the types of simple permanent tissues?

    1. Parenchyma

    2. Sclerenchyma

    3. Collenchyma

    4. All of the above


    Correct Option: D
    Explanation:

    Simple permanent tissues are simple as they are made up of only one type of cell. They are known as permanent tissue because they have lost the power of division and are specialized. They are classified into three main types parenchyma, sclerenchyma, and collenchyma.

    So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.

    Between the bark and the wood in a woody stem, there is a layer of meristem called:

    1. Zone of cell division

    2. Vascular cambium

    3. Cork cambium

    4. Both B and C


    Correct Option: D
    Explanation:

    Cambium is a kind of meristem which is most active in woody plants and it lies between the bark and wood of the stem. The vascular cambium forms tissues that carry water and nutrients throughout the plant. On the outer surface, the vascular cambium forms new layers of phloem, and on the inner surface, new layers of xylem. The cork cambium creates cells that eventually become bark on the outside and cells that add to the cortex on the inside. In woody plants, the cork cambium is part of the periderm. So, the correct answer is "both vascular and cork cambium".

    Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.

    The primary growth in plants results from:

    1. primary cambium

    2. cambium

    3. promeristem

    4. lateral meristems


    Correct Option: C
    Explanation:

    The primary growth in plants results from promeristem. Promeristem is the early embryonic meristem from which other advanced meristems are derived. It is present in a very small area which further divides to form primary meristem.

    So, the correct answer is promeristem.

    Which of these types of cells is most likely to divide?

    1. Meristem
