Question

Find the correct statements regarding the structure of xylem and phloem: 
I. Xylem parenchyma store starch or fat or Tannins 
II. Xylem parenchyma have highly thickened walls and obliterated central lumens 
III. Companion cells are controlled by nucleus of sieve tubes 
IV. Phloem parenchyma is absent in most of the monocots

• A. I,IV
• B. II,III
• C. III,IV
• D. I,II

Hint:

Delve deeper into plant physiology to understand the specialized functions of different plant tissue types.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Evaluating the statements. Xylem parenchyma indeed store substances like starch, but their walls are not typically highly thickened; that characteristic belongs to xylem fibers.
Companion cells are indeed associated with sieve tubes but are not controlled by them; they assist in the function of sieve tubes.
Phloem parenchyma is indeed scarce in most monocots.
