(b) Thin cellulosic cell wall.
(c) Greater number of mitochondria.
(d) Abundant plasmodesmata.

• A. Only a and b
• B. Only b and c
• C. Only b, c, d
• D. a, b, c, d

Answer 1

The correct option is D a, b, c, d

A meristematic tissue is a group of similar and immature cells that are in a continuous state of division. These tissues are found in growing regions of plants. This tissue is characterized by small cells, thin cell walls, large conspicuous nuclei and no intercellular spaces. Cells are rich in protoplasm with abundant mitochondria. The cells have primary cell wall made up of cellulose. It has abundant plasmodesmatal connections.
