Q1
Easy
What is the primary function of meristematic tissues in plants?
A.
Photosynthesis
B.
Growth
C.
Storage
D.
Transport
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Meristematic tissues are responsible for the growth of plants as they contain undifferentiated cells that can divide and differentiate into various types of tissues.
Q2
Easy
Which type of meristematic tissue is responsible for the increase in length of stems and roots?
A.
Lateral meristem
B.
Apical meristem
C.
Intercalary meristem
D.
Primary meristem
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
The apical meristem is located at the tips of stems and roots and is responsible for the primary growth, leading to an increase in length.
Q3
Easy
What distinguishes meristematic cells from mature plant cells?
A.
Size
B.
Shape
C.
Ability to divide
D.
Cell wall composition
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C
Meristematic cells are characterized by their ability to divide and produce new cells, unlike mature cells which are usually differentiated and do not divide.
Q4
Medium
Intercalary meristems are primarily found in which part of the plant?
A.
At the root tips
B.
Between mature tissues
C.
At the nodes of stems
D.
In leaf axils
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C
Intercalary meristems are found at the nodes of stems and at the base of leaves, allowing for rapid growth and regrowth.
Q5
Medium
What is the main characteristic of meristematic tissues?
A.
They are specialized for photosynthesis.
B.
They are capable of continuous division.
C.
They store food and nutrients.
D.
They form protective layers.
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Meristematic tissues are characterized by their ability to continuously divide, facilitating plant growth and development.
Q6
Medium
Which of the following is NOT a type of meristematic tissue?
A.
Apical meristem
B.
Lateral meristem
C.
Subapical meristem
D.
Intercalary meristem
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C
Subapical meristem is not recognized as a distinct type of meristematic tissue; the main types are apical, lateral, and intercalary.
Q7
Medium
The process by which meristematic tissues differentiate into various cell types is known as?
A.
Morphogenesis
B.
Cellular differentiation
C.
Gametogenesis
D.
Cell division
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Cellular differentiation is the process by which meristematic tissues develop into various specialized cells for specific functions.
Q8
Hard
Which type of meristematic tissue is primarily responsible for the increase in length of roots and stems?
A.
Apical meristem
B.
Lateral meristem
C.
Intercalary meristem
D.
Parenchyma
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Apical meristem is located at the tips of roots and shoots, facilitating elongation and primary growth.
Q9
Hard
Which of the following is a characteristic feature of meristematic cells?
A.
Thick cell walls
B.
Presence of large vacuoles
C.
High mitotic activity
D.
Specialized functions
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C
Meristematic cells are characterized by high mitotic activity, which allows for rapid cell division and growth.
Q10
Hard
The region of the plant where intercalary meristem is found is crucial for which of the following processes?
A.
Leaf growth
B.
Secondary growth
C.
Formation of bark
D.
Root hair formation
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Intercalary meristem is located at the base of leaves and internodes, facilitating the growth of leaves and stems.
