Concept explainers
To identify: The structure shown in micrograph A
Concept introduction: Vascular plants consist of two specialized tissues called as xylem and phloem that act as a conducting tube in plants for the transportation of water and sugar molecules throughout the plant. Xylem is a vascular tissue involved in the transportation of water and minerals from the root to the leaves of plants. It also provides mechanical support and storage to the plants. Xylem consists of two types of conducting cells namely tracheids and vessel elements. Both cells are together called as tracheary element.

- Examine the roots of Vanda Sp. Cut across one root with sharp razor blade and observe closely. Use a dissecting microscope or hand lens. Identify and describe this tissue? Is there any special function of this tissue?arrow_forwardOf the two types of vascular tissue found in plants, which one has end walls, and two-way movement, and moves sugars around the plant? Group of answer choices Stomata Phloem Mycelium Xylem Ligninarrow_forwardBulbs, corms, rhizomes, and tubers appear similar but are derived from very different plant tissues (shown in picture) What function do these structures have in common?arrow_forward
- Look at as shown. The top three rows are labeled “Primary growth” because these are found in the primary plant body, the body of an herb. The third row of the figure has five boxes with the five types of mature tissue found in the primary plant body. What are the five tissues?arrow_forwardWhich plant tissue provides support and mechanical strength to the plant? A. Parenchyma tissue B. Xylem tissue C. Collenchyma tissue D. Sclerenchyma tissuearrow_forwardWhere in the leaves is thephotosynthetic tissue oftenlocated?arrow_forward
