Plant Tissues - 2 (Class IX)

This is the correct option as phloem fibres are dead cells which possess narrow lumen. They provide mechanical strength to the tissue.

Yes, it is the correct answer. Specific regions of apical meristem produce dermal tissues, ground tissues and vascular tissues.

Vascular cambium and cork cambium are involved in secondary growth.

Yes, it is the correct answer as this is a false statement.

The tissue which is composed of mature and differentiated cells that have already undergone definite growth and have assumed definite size, shape and function is known as permanent tissue. Permanent tissue acquires a specific role and loses the ability of cell division.

Lateral meristem helps in increasing the girth of a plant.

Collenchymatous tissue forms long, flexible, but strong strands in leaf stalks. 

Sclerenchyma has dead cells.

Suberin is the chemical secreted by cork cells that makes them impervious to gases and water.

Sclereids are found in fruit or seed walls and also in the flesh of apples and pineapples. 

The end walls of sieve tubes are perforated and these perforated end plates are called sieve plates. Pores in these tubes offer less resistance.

Xylem tissue consists of vessels, tracheids, xylem parenchyma and fibres.

Phloem tissue translocates food in plants.

Xylem vessels and tracheids are tubular structures. This allows them to transport water and minerals vertically.

Meristematic tissue helps in plant growth. Throughout the life of the plant, the rate of cell division and cell elongation in the meristems is regulated by plant hormones.
