Question

Water and dissolved minerals get into the root hair of a plant by a process called A and enter the conducting tissue B. The process C helps the water and dissolved minerals to move up through the tissue B in roots and stem, and reach the leaves of a plant. In the leaves food is made by a process D. This food is then transported to all the parts of a plant through tissue E. The process of distributing food made in the leaves to all the parts of the plant is called F.
(c) Which tissue, B or E, contains sieve tubes?

Solution

  • Tissue E (phloem) contains sieve tubes.
  • Sieve tubes are living cells that contain cytoplasm but no nucleus. Sieve tubes help in the conduction of food.
  • Tissue B (xylem) is called dead tissue or non- living tissue because all components present inside tissue are dead except xylem parenchyma.
