Do meristematic tissues have vacuoles present in them?
A
Yes
B
No
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. The main function of meristematic tissue is mitosis. The cells are small, thin-walled, with no central vacuole and no specialized features.

Detailed explanation-3: -They do not have any waste material to store so, vacuoles are usually absent in the meristematic cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meristematic tissues are made up of actively dividing cells which drive the growth of the plant in vertical and horizontal directions, including the increase in thickness of the stem and branches. Since they do not have storage functions so they do not require vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-5: -because they need energy frequently they do not have much food to store in, so they do not have vacuole and have a prominent and large nucleus .
