The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Fibres and sclereids are the types of -", we will analyze each option provided: 1. **Understanding the options**: - **a) Parenchyma**: This is a type of plant tissue that is living and primarily involved in functions such as storage, photosynthesis, and tissue repair. - **b) Collenchyma**: This type of tissue is also living and provides support, particularly in young stems and leaves. - **c) Sclerenchyma**: This is a type of plant tissue that is composed of dead cells and provides structural support. It includes fibers and sclereids. - **d) Xylem**: This is a type of vascular tissue responsible for the transport of water and minerals, but it does not specifically include fibers and sclereids. 2. **Analyzing the question**: - The question specifically asks about "Fibres and sclereids". We need to identify which type of tissue these structures belong to. 3. **Identifying the correct answer**: - Since fibers and sclereids are both types of sclerenchyma, we can conclude that option **c) Sclerenchyma** is the correct answer. 4. **Final answer**: - The correct answer is **c) Sclerenchyma**.

(i) List atleast three special types of parenchyma. (ii) Differentiate between collenchyma and sclerenchyma.

A tissue is a group of similar cells held together by a cementing substance produced by them, for performing a specific function. There are two types of tissue in plants i.e., meristematic tissue and permanent tissue. Meristematic tissue are found in all growing parts of plants such as root and shoot tips. These are called apical meristem. The tissue occurs right from the birth of plant, are called primary meristems. Permanent tissue arise from meristematic tissue and constitute major portion of the plant body. These includes simple and complex tissues. Simple tissues are parenchyma, sclerenchyma and collenchyma, complex tissue are xylem and phloem. Four students observed parenchyma tissue and drew following diagrams. Which one is correct?

collenchyma, sclerenchyma, distinguishing features OF parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma.
