• A. Glandular cells
• B. Transfer cells
• C. Active cells
• D. Junction cells

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Transfer cells

a) Glandular cells form special structures called glands and are associated with excretion and secretion.

b) Transfer cells are specialized parenchyma cells. Their inner plasma membrane has numerous infoldings that help in secretion and absorption of solutes.

c) Active cells are rapidly dividing meristematic tissues which differentiate to form permanent tissues.
