Question

question 5.
a student examining the cross - leaf section under a microscope finds loosely packed cells with relatively thin cell walls. the cells have numerous chloroplasts. what type of tissue are they a part of?
a. dermal
b. meristematic
c. vascular
d. ground

Explanation:

Ground tissue in plants has loosely - packed cells with thin cell walls and is involved in photosynthesis (due to the presence of chloroplasts). Dermal tissue is the outer protective layer. Vascular tissue is for transport (xylem and phloem). Meristematic tissue is for growth (has actively dividing cells).

D. Ground
