Question

Which among the following statements is incorrect about Meristematic tissues?

(a) Meristematic tissues are quite small which allows large number of cell division

(b) Their cytoplasm is quite dense which means that they contain many cell organelles that help them increase their rate of respiration

(c) Their cell wall is thin which allows them to divide easily

(d) Larger vacuoles let them break easily and give mechanical support

The question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

This interesting question is from Flowering Plants Anatomy topic in chapter Anatomy of Flowering Plants of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

The correct answer is (d) Larger vacuoles let them break easily and give mechanical support

To explain I would say: Meristematic tissues are quite small which allows large number of cell division. Their cytoplasm is quite dense which means that they contain many cell organelles that help them increase their rate of respiration. Their cell wall is thin which allows them to divide easily. Vacuoles are absent in Meristematic tissues.
