Question

Identify the tissues:
a. Stores food for the plant
b. Increases the girth of the stem
c. Helps in conducting water and minerals
d. Gives structural strength

Answer 1

Answer:

• Phloem Tissue

Tissue that transports food in plants → Phloem. Tissue that stores fat in our body → Adipose tissue. Connective tissue with a fluid matrix → Blood. Tissue present in the brain → Nervous tissue.

• Between the xylem and phloem is a meristem called the vascular cambium. This tissue divides off cells that will become additional xylem and phloem. This growth increases the girth of the plant, rather than its length.
• Vascular tissue transports water, minerals, and sugars to different parts of the plant. Vascular tissue is made of two specialized conducting tissues: xylem and phloem. Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant, and also plays a role in structural support in the stem.
• dicotyledonous and coniferous (i.e., woody) trees and shrubs, the defining structure that permits this conversion is a layer of meristematic cells, called the vascular cambium, that organizes between the primary xylem and primary phloem of the vascular cylinders.
