Question

This chart shows the types of ground tissue and their functions.

Parenchyma is labeled 1, Collenchyma is labeled 2, and Sclerenchyma is labeled 3.A 4-column table has 4 rows. The first column has entries A, B, C, D. The second column is labeled 1 with entries for food production and storage, for secretion of substances like nectar, for strength and support, for healing of plant parts. The third column is labeled 2 with entries for strength and support, for conduction of materials throughout the plant, for protection and support, for protection and support. The fourth column is labeled 3 with entries for protection and support, for healing of plant parts, for food production and storage, for strength and support.

Which row (A, B, C, or D) best matches each ground tissue with its function?
A
B
C
D

Answer 1

A

Reason: Parenchyma = food production and storage (and healing), Collenchyma = strength/flexible support, Sclerenchyma = rigid protection and support — which matches row A.

Answer 2

A
