Which type of plant tissue is an active site of cell division?
Meristematic Tissue. There are two types of plant tissues- meristematic and permanent. Meristematic tissue is the tissue which has the ability to
divide whereas the permanent tissue cannot divide. Epithelial and connective tissues are examples of animal tissues.
Meristematic tissue is responsible for the growth of the plant. Which type of meristematic tissue is responsible for the increase in girth of the
plant?
Lateral. Lateral meristem is found on the outer walls of the stem and root of the plant. Apical and intercalary are the other types of meristematic
tissues. Parenchyma is not a meristematic tissue, but a permanent tissue.
Which type of permanent tissue does carrot contain?
Parenchyma. Parenchyma is the type of plant tissue that stores food. So, carrot and all other fruits and vegetables contain parenchyma tissue.
Aerenchyma is that type of parenchyma tissue that contains air cavities which help the aquatic plants to float. Collenchyma and sclerenchyma are
other permanent tissues.
Which type of parenchyma contains chlorophyll?
Chlorenchyma. Since chlorophyll helps in photosynthesis (the process by which plants synthesize their own food), chlorenchyma also helps in
photosynthesis.
Which tissue does the husk of a coconut contain?
Sclerenchyma. Sclerenchymatous cells are dead cells. The fibrous husk of coconut is also dead.
Which substance is responsible for thickening of sclerenchyma walls?
Lignin. Lignin gives mechanical strength to the cell wall of sclerenchymatous cells. Suberin is present in the bark of a tree and makes the cells
impervious to water and gases. Pectin is a polysaccharide. Cutin is a waxy polymer.
Epidermis in desert plants has a thin waxy coating of a chemical substance. Name the chemical.
Cutin. Cutin is a waxy polymer. Its waterproof quality limits the water loss in desert plants.
Which are the tubular structures present in xylem?
Tracheids and vessels. Xylem is a complex tissue, i.e. it is made up of more than one type of cells. It helps in conduction of water and minerals in the
plants. Tracheids and vessels are tubular structures that are part of xylem. They are together known as tracheary elements. Xylem fibers are dead cells
present in xylem. Xylem parenchyma helps in storage of food in xylem. Sieve tubes are part of phloem, the other type of complex tissue.
Name the part of phloem with perforated walls.
Sieve tubes. Phloems are complex tissues which are responsible for conduction of nutrients. Sieve tubes have perforated walls but lack a nucleus.
Companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibers are other parts of phloem.

Name the dead part of phloem.

Fibers. Fibers give strength to the plant body and are generally non-living.
