Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is a simple tissue that serves as a site for photosynthesis, provides supporting matrix for vascular tissue, and helps to store water and sugar?
A
Vascular tissue
B
Collenchyma tissue
C
Ground tissue
D
Sclerenchyma tissue
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ground tissue serves as a site for photosynthesis, provides a supporting matrix for the vascular tissue, and helps to store water and sugars.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the tissue in leaves is comprised of parenchyma cells, which are the sites of photosynthesis, and parenchyma cells in the leaves contain large quantities of chloroplasts for phytosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parenchyma tissues are found in the soft parts of the plant like the leaf. They help in photosynthesis and storage of food.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthates, such as sucrose, are produced in the mesophyll cells (a type of parenchyma cell) of photosynthesizing leaves. Sugars are actively transported from source cells into the sieve-tube companion cells, which are associated with the sieve-tube elements in the vascular bundles.

Detailed explanation-5: -parenchyma tissue The cells are found in many places throughout plant bodies and, given that they are alive, are actively involved in photosynthesis, secretion, food storage, and other activities of plant life. Parenchyma is one of the three main types of ground, or fundamental, tissue in plants, together…
