Question : What are the structural characteristics of (a) Meristemati

1.	Question : What are the structural characteristics of (a) Meristematic cells near root tip (b) The cells in the elongation zone of the root
Answer» Solution :(a) The MERISTEMATIC cells near root TIP are characterised by: Rich protoplasm. Large CONSPICUOUS nucleus. Thin and cellulosic cell wall primary in nature. Fewer vacuoles. GREATER number of mitochondria. Numerous (abundant) plasmodesmata. (b) The cells in the elongation zone of a root are characterized by : Increased vacuolation Enlarged size/dimension Deposition of new cellulosic cell walls.
