Sieve tube elements are joined to other sieve tube elements by sieve plates.Which statement about sieve plates is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sieve plates are specialized structures found in sieve tube elements that allow for the conduction between sieve tube elements through tunnels formed by enlarged pores. This allows for efficient transport of nutrients throughout the plant. The other options are not true, as sieve plates are not enlargements of meristems, do not allow for the joining of cytoplasm between stomata, do not contain organelles of the cell, and are not directly connected to other sieve plates via plasmodesmata.
