Question

Assertion :Parenchyma tissue are non living.
Reason: Parenchyma cells have intercellular space
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Parenchymatous tissues have intercellular spaces is a wrong statement. Parenchyma act as a packing tissue in plants hence they do not have intercellular spaces.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is A is false but R is true.

Explanation:

Assertion: Parenchyma tissue are non living.

Parenchyma cells can divide at maturity and can even repair damaged wounds. This is the characteristic of living cells. Non-living cells cannot reproduce.

Thus, parenchyma tissue is a living permanent tissue. Hence, the statement is incorrect.

Reason: Parenchyma cells have intercellular space

Parenchyma cells may be loosely packed or densely packed. Thus, they may have or might not have intercellular space.

Since there is a possibility that parenchyma cells have intercellular space, this statement is correct.

Thus, assertion is false but reason is true.
