Question

ASSERTION (A): Vascular or conductive tissue is a distinctive feature of complex plants. REASON (R): Vascular tissue has made the survival of complex plants possible in the terrestrial environments.

Answer 1

Answer:

Vascular or conductive tissue is the tissue of higher plants, which enables them to survive in terrestrial environment. Both xylem and phloem are conducting tissues of higher plants. The distinctive feature of this tissue is, it is a complex tissue which conducts food and water.

Answer 2

Assertion (A): Vascular or conductive tissue is a distinctive feature of complex plants. REASON (R): Vascular tissue has made the survival of complex plants possible in terrestrial environments. Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct reason for the assertion.

Explanation:

• Vascular tissue is a complex conducting tissue formed of more than one cell type found in vascular plants.
• The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem.
• Vascular tissue is a distinctive feature of complex plants, making their survival in the terrestrial environment possible.
• Vascular tissue is comprised of the xylem and the phloem, the main transport systems of plants.
• They typically occur together in vascular bundles in all plant organs, traversing roots, stems, and leaves.
• Vascular tissue transports water, minerals, and sugars to different parts of the plant.
