उत्तर
| Meristematic tissue | Permanent tissue | |
| (i) | Cells of this tissue divide throughout their life. | Cells of this tissue lose the ability to divide to take up specific functions. |
| (ii) | Meristematic tissues are located at specific regions of the plant e.g. apical meristem is located in apices (tips) of roots and shoots, etc. | Permanent tissues are distributed throughout the plant body. |
| (iii) | Cells of this tissue are very active, have dense cytoplasm, thin walls, and prominent nuclei. They lack vacuoles. | Cells of this tissue are vacuolated, vary in shape and size. Their cell walls may be thin or thick. |
| (iv) | The cell wall of the cells is cellulosic. | Cells walls may be made up of cellulose or lignin or suberin. |
| (v) | Cells of this tissue are living. | Cells of this tissue may be living (parenchyma) or dead(sclerenchyma). |
| (vi) | Intercellular spaces are absent in cells. | Intercellular spaces may be present or absent. |
