2] Write function for these—A] Meristematic tissue B]Chlorophyll pigment
3] Define- A] Photosynthesis B] Permanent tissue
Answers
Answer:
Meristematic tissues are responsible for plant growth. They are present at the tips of roots,stem and branches. The cells present in these tissues constantly divide to produce new cells. This leads to an increase in the height and girth of plants.
Chlorophyll b is a form of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll b helps in photosynthesis by absorbing light energy. It is more soluble than chlorophyll a in polar solvents because of its carbonyl group. Its color is green, and it primarily absorbs blue light.
The primary function of pigments in plants is photosynthesis, which uses the green pigment chlorophyll and several colorful pigments that absorb as much light energy as possible. Other functions of pigments in plants include attracting insects to flowers to encourage pollination.
