Question

Select the pair that is NOT correct - ?
(a) Parenchyma tissue - Presence of intercellular spaces (b) Epithelial tissue - Presence of basement membrane (c) Sclerenchyma tissue - Presence of living cells (d) Nervous tissue - Presence of neurone and neuroglia ​

Answer 1

(C) Sclerenchyma tissue- Presence of living cells
Sclerenchyma tissue has dead tissues as it helps in giving mechanical support to the plants

Answer 2

Sclerenchyma tissue - The presence of living cells is not the correct pair.

• Correct Answer: c) Sclerenchyma cells that get mature typically become dead cells. These cells have secondary walls that are heavily thickened and these contain lignin.
• Incorrect Answer: a) Parenchyma contains comparatively thin walls and large as well as arranged loosely packed cells. Loosely packed cells have intercellular spaces between them. 
• Incorrect Answer: b) Epithelial structures are depicted by the composure of the basement membrane, and a sheet-like extracellular matrix which is compiled from two main laminin, proteins, and collagen type IV.
• Nervous tissue is composed of two sections of cells include neurons and neuroglia.

Hence, Sclerenchyma tissues are dead cells, not living cells. So, c is the correct option.
