Question

Fibers would have

• A. Thick walled
• B. Thin walled
• C. Thickening of wall at corners
• D. Dense cytoplasm

Answer 1

The correct option is A Thick walled

Fibers are the elongated sclerenchymatous simple tissues with pointed ends. They serve to impart mechanical support and rigidity to the plant and hence have thick lignified walls. Thickening of walls at corner is characteristic feature of angular collenchymas while fibres have uniform thickening at their walls. As fibers are the dead cells, they lack nucleus and protoplast.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
