Meristem Doku Flashcards
(24 cards)
What is meristem tissue?
Meristem tissue is a type of plant tissue that is responsible for growth and development.
True or False: Meristematic cells are differentiated cells.
False: Meristematic cells are undifferentiated cells.
What are the two main types of meristematic tissue?
The two main types are apical meristem and lateral meristem.
Fill in the blank: Apical meristem is located at the __________ of roots and shoots.
tips
What is the function of lateral meristem?
Lateral meristem is responsible for the secondary growth of plants, increasing their girth.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is a type of lateral meristem? A) Cork cambium B) Apical meristem C) Intercalary meristem
A) Cork cambium
What is intercalary meristem?
Intercalary meristem is found between the mature tissues of stems and leaves, allowing for growth in length.
True or False: Meristematic cells can divide indefinitely.
True
What role do meristematic cells play in plant regeneration?
Meristematic cells contribute to the formation of new tissues during regeneration.
Fill in the blank: The primary growth of a plant is facilitated by __________ meristems.
apical
Multiple Choice: Which type of meristem is responsible for primary growth? A) Lateral meristem B) Apical meristem C) Cork cambium
B) Apical meristem
What is the role of the cambium in plants?
The cambium is a type of lateral meristem that produces secondary xylem and phloem.
True or False: Meristematic cells are specialized for photosynthesis.
False: Meristematic cells are not specialized for photosynthesis.
What are the characteristics of meristematic cells?
Meristematic cells are small, have a dense cytoplasm, and a large nucleus.
Fill in the blank: __________ meristem is responsible for the thickness of stems and roots.
Lateral
Multiple Choice: Which type of meristem is found at the base of leaves? A) Apical meristem B) Intercalary meristem C) Lateral meristem
B) Intercalary meristem
What is the significance of meristematic tissue in agriculture?
Meristematic tissue is crucial for the propagation and growth of crops.
True or False: Meristems only exist in flowering plants.
False: Meristems exist in all types of plants.
What is the difference between primary and secondary growth in plants?
Primary growth increases the length of the plant, while secondary growth increases its girth.
Fill in the blank: The __________ is a ring of meristematic tissue that produces secondary growth.
cambium
Multiple Choice: Which of the following tissues is produced by the apical meristem? A) Phloem B) Cork C) Parenchyma
C) Parenchyma
What is the primary function of parenchyma cells?
Parenchyma cells are involved in storage, photosynthesis, and tissue repair.
True or False: Meristematic tissue can be found in both roots and shoots.
True
What is the role of the shoot apical meristem?
The shoot apical meristem is responsible for the growth of new leaves and stems.
