Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meristematic cells are undifferentiated cells that constantly divide to produce new cells, which can then differentiate into specialized cells.

Answer: C (incorrect)
 Root hairs are outgrowths of specialized root cells but not produced by meristematic cells.

Answer: D (incorrect)
 Parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma are not different types of meristematic cells, but rather different types of mature plant cells.

Answer: E (incorrect)
 Meristematic cells are not directly involved with transpiration, which is primarily driven by specialized cells in leaves called stomata.
