II. Give one word for the following:
(a) Identify the type of simple permanent tissue whose cells are dead and cell walls are thickened due to lignin. (b) Tuna observed a permanent slide of a plant tissue with thin walled cells, loosely packed with large intercellular spaces. Identify the tissue. (c) Which tissue is responsible for the increase in the girth of the stem? (d) Which tissue is responsible for the transportation of food in plants? (e) I am complex sugar found in plants, responsible for hardening of sclerenchyma. Who am I?
