Question

Identify X, Y, and Z.
$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Tissue}& \text{Function}\\ \left(a\right)\text{X}& \left(i\right)\text{Transports food}\\ \left(b\right)\text{Y}& \left(ii\right)\text{Provides buoyancy}\\ \left(c\right)\text{Chlorenchyma}& \left(iii\right)\text{Z}\end{array}$

• A. X: Phloem, Y: Collenchyma, Z: Photosynthesis
• B. X: Phloem, Y: Aerenchyma, Z: Photosynthesis
• C. X: Xylem, Y: Aerenchyma, Z: Photosynthesis
• D. X: Phloem, Y: Sclerenchyma, Z: Photosynthesis

Answer 1

The correct option is B X: Phloem, Y: Aerenchyma, Z: Photosynthesis

• X: Phloem, transports food from the photosynthetic parts of the plant.
• Y: Aerenchyma, cells in this tissue enclose very large air cavities. These air cavities store gases. This makes the plant buoyant.
• Z: Chlorenchyma, cells in this tissue have chloroplast. These cells take part in the manufacturing of food.
