The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the synthesis of lipids and proteins, we need to analyze each of the given options and determine which one is associated with this process. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which of the following options is associated with the synthesis of lipids and proteins. 2. **Analyzing Option 1: Sieve Tube Elements**: - Sieve tube elements are part of the phloem and are primarily involved in the conduction of sugars. - They lack a nucleus and are considered semi-alive at maturity, which means they cannot synthesize proteins or lipids. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 3. **Analyzing Option 2: Xylem Parenchyma**: - Xylem parenchyma consists of living cells that contain protoplasts. - These cells can perform photosynthesis and are capable of synthesizing lipids and proteins. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. 4. **Analyzing Option 3: Trichomes**: - Trichomes are outgrowths from the epidermis of plants and primarily serve protective functions. - They help in reducing water loss through evaporation but do not play a role in the synthesis of lipids and proteins. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 5. **Analyzing Option 4: Tracheids and Vessels**: - Tracheids and vessels are types of xylem cells that are dead at maturity. - They lack protoplasm and are involved in the transport of water and minerals, not in the synthesis of lipids or proteins. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 6. **Final Conclusion**: After analyzing all options, the only correct answer is **Option 2: Xylem Parenchyma**, as it is the only type of cell that can synthesize lipids and proteins. ### Final Answer: The synthesis of lipids and proteins is associated with **Xylem Parenchyma** (Option 2). ---

Plant group in which phloem is composed of sieve tube elements, companion cells, phloem parenchyma & Phloem fibres

P-protein occurs in (a) Sieve tube elements (b) Tracheids (c) Vessels (d) Phloem parenchyma

A common structural feature of vessel elements and sieve tube elements is

Go through the following statements (i) The cambium is generally more acitve on the inner side than on the outer. (ii) The autunn wood is darker and has a higher density than spring wood. (iii) In stem, the secondary xylem shows distinction into protoxylem and metaxylem and occurs in the form of patches. (iv) The tracheids and vessels of the sapwood get plugged by the ingrowth of the adjacent parenchyma cells into thier cavities called tyloses. Which of theses are correct ?

Select true statement - (A) The presence of vessels in xylem is a characteristics feature of angiosperms (B) The cells of parenchyma are generally isodiametric (C) Xylem vessels are multicellular whereas tracheids are unicellular

Assertion In angioperms, the conduction of water is more efficient because their xylem has vessels. Reason Conduction of water by vessel elements is an active process in which energy is supplied by xylem parenchyma rich in mitochondria.
