- Match the following plant cells and tissues with their definition: - v Collenchyma A. grouped in strands and help support young parts of the plant shoot. They have unevenly thickened primary cell walls. - v Sugar-conducting cells of the phloem B. are alive at maturity, but lack organelles. Each sieve-tube element is connected to a companion cell by plasmodesmata. Water-conducting cells of the xyleem v Sclerenchyma C. The two types of water-conducting cells, tracheids and vessel elements, are dead and lignified at maturity. - v Parenchyma D. rigid due to thick secondary walls containing lignin, dead at functional maturity and play a role in support in the plant. E. cells are flexible and provide the most diversity of functions (such as photosynthesis)arrow_forwardWhich of the following is false? a. Stems have vascular bundles, and roots have vascular cylinders. b. Lateral roots can arise from nodes on a root. c. Primary growth (lengthening) can occur at an axillary bud. d. Apical meristem gives rise to epidermal tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. e.

More than one of the choices are correct.arrow_forwardPut the following 3 fictional plants in order from earliest to most recent according to their characteristics: A. The Terpad Plant: This plant reproduces using spores and has proper leaves and vascular tissue. B. The Feltris Plant: The Feltris plant lives in moist environments since it doesn't have any vascular tissue to maintain hydration throughout the plant. This plant has no roots either but has small root-like structures called rhizoids which help anchor them to the ground. Water is also required in order for fertilization. C.

Select one: a. They are found in the zone of cell elongation and help the root to fix nitrogen. b.They are found in the root cap and help the root sense gravity. c.They are found in the zone of cell division of the root and help anchor the plant in the soil. d.They are found in the root apical meristem and help the root to absorb water. e.They are found in the zone of cell differentiation in the root. Which of the following best describes the route to fruit formation in flowering plants?
