Give reasons for

Question: Meristematic cells have a prominent nucleus and dense cytoplasm but they lack vacuole.
Answer: Cells of meristematic tissue are capable of division, hence they have a prominent nucleus and dense cytoplasm. Since they continuously undergo division, they do not need to maintain a fixed shape or store food, so vacuoles are absent.

Question: Intercellular spaces are absent in sclerenchymatous tissues.
Answer: The cell wall in sclerenchyma is lignified, which eliminates intercellular spaces.

Question: We get a crunchy and granular feeling when we chew pear fruit.
Answer: Pear fruit contains small sclerenchyma cells called stone cells, which give the crunchy and granular feeling.

Question: Branches of a tree move and bend freely in high wind velocity.
Answer: Collenchyma, present at the junction of branches, provides rigidity with flexibility, allowing branches to move and bend in strong winds.

Question: It is difficult to pull out the husk of a coconut tree.
Answer: The husk of a coconut tree is made of sclerenchyma, which is very hard, making it difficult to pull out.
