Organisation of plant tissue and growth

Which of the following is not a characteristics of permanent tissues?

• Mature tissues that are undergoing differentiation

• matured tissues which are already differentiated

• Actively dividing to produce new cells for growth

• categorised into epidermal tissue, ground tissue and vascular tissue

what is the function of cuticle?

• protects the underlying tissues
• transport water
• transport mineral and nutrients
• reduce loss of water through transpiration

Which tissue provide flexibility and elasticity in plants

• parenchyma tissue

• sclerenchyma tissue

• xylem tissue

• collenchyma tisssue

which of this function not belongs to parenchyma tissue?

• carries out photosynthesis 
• stores food materials such as starch
• absorption of water and mineral
• provides support to the plants

where lateral meristem or cambium can be found?

• between xylem and phloem tissue
• epidermis
• between ground tissue
• stem and root

The most common type of ground tissue is

• epidermis

• collenchyma

• sclerenchyma

• parenchyma

Lignified elongated dead cells are

• parenchyma

• collenchyma

• sclerenchyma

• none of the above

'cells change their shapes and structure to become specialised cells' in which zone does this changes take place

• zone of differentiation

• zone of cell division

• zone of elongation

The drawing shows a plant root. What is the zone labelled X?

• zone of elongation

• zone of specialisation

• zone of cell division

• zone of differentiation

Where would you find the greatest concentration of

undifferentiated cells in a plant?

• in the phloem

• in the palisade layer in the leaf

• in the root tips

• in the xylem
