Question

Which of the following is not a type of primary meristematic cell found in apical meristems?a) Vascular cambiumb) Ground meristemc) Procambiumd) Protoderm

Answer 1

The correct answer will be option-Vascular cambium

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary meristematic cells are the cells which are formed from the apical meristem. The primary meristem is responsible for the primary growth of the plant like the height or length.

Three types of primary meristematic cells formed from the differentiation of the apical meristem are:

1. Procambium: which forms the primary xylem and phloem ( vascular tissue) and form vascular and cork cambium.

2. Protoderm: forms the epidermis of the stem

3. Ground meristem: forms the ground tissues which include the pith and cortex.

Since the vascular cambium is formed from the procambium of the primary meristematic cells therefore, vascular cambium is the correct answer.
