Question

The plant tissue shown in the given figure is

• A. A simple permanent tissue which stores food material
• B. A complex permanent tissue which stores food material
• C. A simple permanent tissue which provides mechanical strength due to the presence of wall thickenings
• D. A complex permanent tissue that performs conduction of water and minerals

Answer 1

The correct option is A A simple permanent tissue which stores food material

• A meristematic tissue has immense potential to divide. These divide and differentiate to forms a group of cells that coordinates to form a specific function are known as permanent tissue. They are subdivided into two groups, viz, simple tissues consisting of cells which are more or less similar, e.g. epidermis, parenchyma, chlorenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma and complex tissues consisting of different kinds of cells, e.g. xylem and phloem.

Simple tissues are:

• Epidermis
• Parenchyma
• Chlorenchyma
• Collenchyma
• Sclerenchyma
