- 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.

Flowersarrow_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. The Lancelot Plant: This plant can grow in either moist or dry environments, has true roots, stems and leaves and reproduces via seeds which develop within an ovary.arrow_forwardExamine different parts of a shoot,draw labelled diagrams (only one diagram indicating all parts)and provide important features. a.
