Study Notes
Types of Plant Tissue
- Meristematic tissue consists of immature intercellular spaces and undifferentiated cells.
- This tissue is responsible for plant growth and can develop into various specialized cell types.
Internal Structure of Mitochondria
- Mitochondria in meristematic tissue have a double-membrane structure.
- They contain cristae, which increase the surface area for ATP production, facilitating energy needs during rapid cell division.
Location of Apical Meristems
- Apical meristems are found at the tips of roots and shoots.
- They play a crucial role in primary growth, enabling the plant to elongate.
Composition of Primary Cell Wall
- The primary cell wall in meristematic tissue is primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin.
- This composition provides structure and flexibility necessary for cell expansion.
Stage of Plastids in Meristematic Tissue
- Plastids in meristematic tissue are in an undifferentiated state.
- They can develop into chloroplasts, chromoplasts, or leucoplasts as the cells specialize.
