Detailed explanation-1: -The purpose of a vacuole is to store food and waste product. Since meristems are young cells and are actively dividing, they do not participate actively in food preparation. Also, they do not produce a large amount of waste. Hence, they lack vacuoles.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meristematic tissues contain living cells of various shapes. They have a large nucleus that is devoid of the vacuole.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meristematic tissue lacks vacuole in its early stage. So, the correct answer is “Option C”. The apical meristem is responsible for the extension of the roots and shoots. Intercalary meristems have the power of cell division and allow the rapid growth and regrowth of many monocots.
Detailed explanation-4: -Meristematic tissue divides continuously in plants so the growth is continuous throughout the life in plants.
