The type of plant tissue that has thin walls and functions in photosynthesis and storage is:
A. Parenchyma
B. Sclerenchyma
C. Xylem
D. Collenchyma
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Parenchyma cells are living, thin-walled, and isodiametric, making up the ground tissue of plants. They are involved in photosynthesis (chlorenchyma), storage, and secretion. Collenchyma provides support with uneven thickening, sclerenchyma has lignified walls and is often dead, xylem conducts water.
Explanation:
Solar energy is converted to chemical energy by photosynthesis, driving nearly all ecosystems. Only deep-sea vents rely on chemosynthesis.
