Lesson: Chapter 1 — Living Tissues

1.1.1. Meristematic tissue 1 of 5

Question 1

Which of these is NOT a characteristic of meristematic tissue?

The right answer is the one marked above.

The cells have a large central vacuole. Meristematic cells have no large central vacuole — small vacuoles may be present, but a big one belongs to a cell that has stopped growing.

This is the line most often written down wrongly. The characteristic is no large vacuole, not no vacuole at all.

Answer the question to continue.
