1. | The active state of division of plant cells which are in a group or tissue is known as Meristematic tissue. | The dead cells or tissue which lose their ability to divide and composed of meristematic tissue are known as Permanent tissue. |
2. | Meristematic tissue contains cells which are undifferentiated. | Permanent tissue contains cells both undifferentiated cells and differentiated cells. |
3. | High rates of metabolism is shown by the cells of meristematic tissue. | Less rate of metabolism is shown by the cells of permanent tissue. |
4. | Primary pit fields are present in the cells of meristematic tissue. | Advanced types of pit are present in the cells of Permanent tissue. |
5. | Meristematic tissue is divided into following types: Apical meristem, lateral meristem, and intercalary meristem. | Permanent tissue is divided into following types: Collenchyma, xylem, parenchyme, sclerenchyma, secretary tissues and phloem etc. |
