Question

How does the meristematic tissue adapt to rapid cell division? Why do they lack vacuoles?

Answer 1

They give rise to upcoming cells multiple division of cells and keep the plant growing.

Vacuole is a cell organelle used to store waste materials, store nutrients, excess salts etc. and usually big and more in number in mature cells. Meristematic cells are mainly concerned with cell division. Their primary function is mitosis. They do not have any waste material to store so vacuoles are usually absent in the meristematic cells.
