Question

Differentiate between permanent and meristematic tissues based on their -

1. division
2. metabolic rate
3. nature

Answer 1

Permanent tissues:

Permanent tissues are tissues formed from cells that lose the ability to grow which are derived from the meristematic tissues.

Meristematic tissues :

Meristematic tissues are tissues present in specific regions of plants that play a major role in growth.

Nature	Permanent tissue	Meristematic tissue
1. Division	They do not undergo regular division.	They always undergo regular division.
2. Metabolic rate	Their metabolic rates are slow.	Their metabolic rates are very active.
3. Nature	They are large and are differentiated with different shapes.	They are small, round, and undifferentiated.
