Consider statements about plant anatomy: 1. Collenchyma provides flexibility. 2. Sclerenchyma cells are dead. 3. Parenchyma stores food. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about plant anatomy: 1. Collenchyma provides flexibility. 2. Sclerenchyma cells are dead. 3. Parenchyma stores food. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Collenchyma cells have unevenly thickened walls, providing mechanical support and flexibility to growing plant parts like stems. Sclerenchyma consists of dead cells with heavily lignified, thick walls, providing rigid strength to plant parts. Parenchyma cells are living, thin-walled, and serve as the primary packing tissue, storing food, water, and air. All three statements are correct.

Question #3
The type of muscle tissue that is voluntary and striated is:
A. Skeletal muscle
B. Visceral muscle
C. Smooth muscle
D. Cardiac muscle

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Skeletal muscle is attached to bones, is under voluntary control, and has a striated appearance due to the arrangement of actin and myosin filaments. Smooth muscle (visceral) is non-striated and involuntary, found in internal organs. Cardiac muscle is striated but involuntary, found only in the heart. Skeletal muscles are multinucleated.
