[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
Maximal size in terms of wall thickening and protoplasmic modification are achieved by-
|
|
Cells of divisional phase
|
|
|
Cells of maturation phase
|
|
|
Cells of elongation phase
|
|
|
Cells of meristematic tissue
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is (C). Cells attaining their maximum size in terms of wall thickening and protoplasmic modification belong to the meristematic phase.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘Maturation phase’
Detailed explanation-3: -Protoplasmic modification is shown by the cells undergoing maturation phase such as tracheid and vessels which are the components of xylem. They lack protoplasm at maturity and this is related to their main function of conduction.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
