Which of these associations is correct?
A) epidermal tissue-tracheids
B) ground tissue-vessel elements
C) vascular tissue-parenchyma
D) vascular tissue-sieve-tube member
E) ground tissue-periderm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vascular tissue is responsible for transporting nutrients and other materials throughout the plant. Sieve-tube members are specialized cells that make up the phloem, which is the vascular tissue responsible for transporting organic nutrients such as sugars. The other options are incorrect because tracheids and vessel elements are both types of cells found in the xylem, not the epidermal tissue or ground tissue. Parenchyma cells are a type of ground tissue, not vascular tissue. Periderm is a protective tissue that replaces the epidermis in older stems and roots, not a type of ground tissue.
