Question

The characteristics feature of water storage tissue is
A. Large sized cells
B. Thin cell walls
C. Thick cell walls
D. Presence of vacuoles

Answer 1

Hint:Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of using a gamine-cells combine to form a tissue. In plants, turn types of tissues are present namely meristematic tissue and permanent.

Complete answer:
The characteristic feature of water storage tissue is the presence of vacuoles.The presence of a large-central vacuole is a characteristic feature of plant cells. The membrane that covers the vacuole is called a tonoplast. Food and water is generally stored in the vacuole of the cell. Thus, the characteristic feature of water storage is the presence of vacuoles.

Large sized cells, thick cell walls and thin cell walls are not essential requirements of water storage tissue. There are different types of tissues present in cells. On the basis of ‘cell division’, there are two types of tissues called meristematic tissue and permanent tissue. Permanent tissues do not undergo cell division division. Example: Parenchyma, sclerenchyma, aerenchyma. Meristematic cells undergo a process of cell division and result in elongation and increase of plant dimensions.
The three types of meristems are
(a) Apical meristem: Present at root and shoot tips. They lead to elongation of plants.
(b) Intercalary meristem: They are present at nodes and base of leaves. It helps in increasing the length of internode.
(c) Lateral meristem: These lateral meristematic tissues are present on the lateral side of stem and root of plant. It helps in increasing the girth of plants. Example: Cambium and cork cambium.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (D) Presence of vacuoles.

Note:Plants pass a special type of tissues called vascular tissue. This tissue helps in transportation of various substances along different plant parts. They are xylem and phloem.
