name the supporting tissue, which I) act as food storage tissue. 2) has thick- cornered cell. 3) provide flexibility to the plant. 4)lacks living protoplasm 5) has lignified cell wall.
Answers
Answer:
1)Parenchyma tissue
2)Collenchyma tissue
3)Collenchyma tissue
4)Sclerenchyma tissue
5)Xylem tissue
Explanation:
1)Parenchyma is a simple permanent plant tissue that contains non-specialized cells with thin cell walls. These cells are loosely packed. Parenchyma helps in storing food and providing support to plants.
2)Collenchyma is the plant tissues made up of elongated cells and the cell wall is thickened at the corners.
3)The flexibility in plants is due to another permanent tissue, collenchyma. It allows easy bending in various parts of a plant (leaf, stem) without breaking. It also provides mechanical support to plants. We can find this tissue in leaf stalks below the epidermis.
4)Sclerenchyma cells are dead, long, thin, narrow with thickened walls without any internal space. They do not possess any protoplasm at maturity.
5)Inner tissues contain xylem tissue with heavily lignified cell walls. The Aglycone and glycosylated forms of monolignols, lignans, and neolignans were detected in both inner- and outer-stem samples. Glycosylated forms were generally more abundant in outer stems
Answer:
Collenchyma parenchyma and sclerenchyma
Explanation:
From the last chapter, we recall that all living
organisms are made of cells. In unicellular
organisms, a single cell performs all basic
functions. For example, in Amoeba, a single
cell carries out movement, intake of food,
gaseous exchange and excretion. But in multi-
cellular organisms there are millions of cells.
Most of these cells are specialised to carry out
specific functions. Each specialised function
is taken up by a different group of cells. Since
these cells carry out only a particular function,
they do it very efficiently. In human beings,
muscle cells contract and relax to cause
movement, nerve cells carry messages, blood
flows to transport oxygen, food, hormones and
waste material and so on. In plants, vascular
tissues conduct food and water from one part
of the plant to other parts. So, multi-cellular
organisms show division of labour. Cells
specialising in one function are often grouped
together in the body. This means that a
particular function is carried out by a cluster
of cells at a definite place in the body. This
cluster of cells, called a tissue, is arranged and
designed so as to give the highest possible
efficiency of function. Blood, phloem and
muscle are all examples of tissues.
A group of cells that are similar in structure
and/or work together to achieve a particular
function forms a tissue.
6.1 Are Plants and Animals Made
of Same Types of Tissues?
Let us compare their structure and functions.
Do plants and animals have the same
structure? Do they both perform similar
functions?
There are noticeable differences between
the two. Plants are stationary or fixed – they
don’t move. Since they have to be upright, they
have a large quantity of supportive tissue. The
supportive tissue generally has dead cells.
Animals on the other hand move around
in search of food, mates and shelter. They
consume more energy as compared to plants.
Most of the tissues they contain are living.
Another difference between animals and
plants is in the pattern of growth. The growth
in plants is limited to certain regions, while this
is not so in animals. There are some tissues in
plants that divide throughout their life. These
tissues are localised in certain regions. Based
on the dividing capacity of the tissues, various
plant tissues can be classified as growing or
meristematic tissue and permanent tissue. Cell
growth in animals is more uniform. So, there
is no such demarcation of dividing and non-
dividing regions in animals.
The structural organisation of organs and
organ systems is far more specialised and
localised in complex animals than even in very
complex plants. This fundamental difference
reflects the different modes of life pursued by
these two major groups of organisms,
particularly in their different feeding methods.
Also, they are differently adapted for a
sedentary existence on one hand (plants) and
active locomotion on the other (animals),
contributing to this difference in organ system
design.
It is with reference to these complex animal
and plant bodies that we will now talk about
the concept of tissues in some detail.
