Anatomy and Morphology of Plants
__________ is a living mechanical tissue.
Cells of this tissue are living and show angular wall thickenings. They also provide mechanical support. The tissue is
A. Xylem: It is the chief conductor of vascular plants responsible for conduction of water and inorganic solutes.
B. Sclerenchyma: Young cells are living but mature cells become dead due to deposition of impermeable secondary wall.
C. Collenchyma: Cells of collenchyma contain protoplasm and are living. The tissue has the capacity to expand and gives tensile strength to the body.
D. Epidermis: The epidermal cells vary in their shape and size. they are generally compactly arranged forming a continuous layer, interrupted only by stomata.
So, the correct answer is 'Collenchyma'.
__________ is a living mechanical tissue.
In angular collenchyma, thickenings are present ________
A plant tissue, when stained, showed the presence of hemicellulose and pectin in cell wall of its cells. The tissue represents
_______ gives flexibility in plants.
Give reasons for Branches of a tree move and bend freely in high wind velocity.
