He found that there was some sticky liquid coming from the place where the stem was cut. After reading the above passage, answer the following questions: 17 . Which tissue is responsible for the sticky liquid ? a) Meristem b) Xylem c) Phloem d) Vascular bundle 18. It is a type of --------- tissue? a)Simple permanent b) Complex permanent c)Meristematic d) Connective 19. Which of the following tissues is responsible for flexibility in plants? a)Parenchyma b)Collenchyma c)Sclerenchyma d) Aerenchyma 20. Which of the following is not a protective tissue? a)Epidermis b) Collenchyma c)Bark d) Cork​

Answer 1

Answer:

meristem tissue present in sugarcane fluid

Answer 2

After reading the passage here are the following answers :-

17) The tissue which is responsible for sticky liquid is Phloem .

Hence, correct option is option (c) Phloem

• It is based on the pressure flow hypothesis . Due to hydrostatic pressure in sieve tube cells pressure flow begins and sap moves out .

18) It is a type of Complex permanent tissue .

Hence, correct option is (b)

• It is a complex tissue because it is made up of more than one type of cells.

19) The tissue responsible for flexibility in plants is Collenchyma

Hence, correct option is (b) Collenchyma

• Collenchyma tissue is responsible for providing flexibility to growing parts of the plant . It allows bending without breaking .

20) Among the following Collenchyma is not a protective tissue .

Hence, correct option is (b) Collenchyma

• Epidermis , Cork , Bark are present on the outer surface . Hence, they play an important role in protecting the plant from attack.
• Collenchyma provides mechanical support and flexibility .
