Question

Albuminous cells occur in
A- Xylem
B-Phloem
C-Sclerenchyma
D-Collenchyma

Answer 1

Albuminous cells are also specialized parenchyma cells that can be found in connection with the sieve tube cells of phloem in gymnosperm wood and they contain albumen protein. Phloem tissue consists of conducting cells that are called sieve elements.

Complete answer: Option A- Xylem- In Xylem it is comprised of Tracheids and vessels and of them are hollow tube-like structures that help in conducting water and minerals. The xylem is carried out only in one direction which is vertical. The xylem parenchyma is held responsible for storing the prepared food and assists in the conduction of water.
Option B- Phloem- It is a living tissue that is present in vascular plants that transports the soluble organic compounds made during photosynthesis and known as photosynthates, in particular, the sugar sucrose to all parts of the plant where it is needed. Phloem is the innermost layer of the bark
Option c- Sclerenchyma- In the plants, there are cells of this tissue that are dead. These are rigid in nature and contain thick and lignified secondary walls. Their main function is to provide strength and support to parts of the plant.
Option D- Collenchyma- Are similar to parenchyma cells with thicker cell walls. They are meant to provide mechanical support to the plant structure in parts such as the petiole of the leaf.
So, the correct answer is Option- B “Phloem"

Note: Every plant consists of specialized mature cells that can perform a wide range of functions which range from protection, support, metabolism, reproduction enabling plant growth, and development. The functions also include transportation of water with help of xylem, transportation of food by phloem, minerals, hormones in the plants.
