Question

.Differentiate between each of the following pairs based on the parameter given:
i. Apical meristematic tissue and Lateral meristematic tissue (function)
ii. Parenchyma tissue and Collenchyma tissue (characteristics of cell)
iii. Parenchyma and Sclerenchyma (function)
iv. Collenchyma and Sclerenchyma (location)
v. Xylem and Phloem

Answer 1

Answer:

i-Apical meristematic tissue increase the length of the plant and Lateral meristematic tissue increases circumference.

ii-Parenchyma tissue:- Cells are living and have intercellular spaces and Collenchyma tissue:- Cells are living and walls are thickened due to deposition of cellulose and pectin.

iii- Parenchyma:- It's function is to store food materials and Sclerenchyma:- It's function is to provide support to plant parts.

iv-Collenchyma is found in stems and leaves of mature plants and Sclerenchyma is found in the cortex of stems and in leaves.

v-Xylem conduct water and minerals from roots to the leaves and is mainly consists of dead cells and Phloem transports food materials to all parts of the plant and is mainly consists of mostly living cells.
