Question

Identify the missing links in the given flow chart.

• A. (i) - Permanent tissue, (ii) - Collenchyma, (iii) - Phloem
• B. (i) - Collenchyma, (ii) - Permanent tissue, (iii) - Phloem
• C. (i) - Phloem, (ii) - Permanent tissue, (iii) - Collenchyma
• D. (i) - Permanent tissue, (ii) - Phloem, (iii) – Collenchyma

Answer 1

The correct option is A (i) - Permanent tissue, (ii) - Collenchyma, (iii) - Phloem

Plant tissues can be broadly classified into meristematic and permanent tissues. Meristematic tissue is responsible for the growth of the plant. Permanent plant tissues can be of two types - simple and complex. Simple plant tissues include- parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma while complex plant tissues include xylem and phloem.
