Question

If you are provided with microscopic preparation of transverse
section of a meristematic tissue and permanent tissue, how would
you distinguish them?

Mamta · Accepted Answer

MERISTEMATIC
TISSUES
PERMANENT TISSUES

1 Meristematic tissues have the capacity
to divide
1 Permanent tissues do not have the
capacity to divide

2 They have thin cellulose wall and do
not have intercellular spaces
2 They have thick cellulose wall and they
do have closely packed or small intercellular spaces

3 They contain dense cytoplasm with
prominent nucleus
3 They contain thin cytoplasm with normal
nucleus

4 They contain many small vacuoles in
their cytoplasm
4 They contain a single large vacuole in
their cytoplasm
