The husk of the coconut is made up of ?
The husk of the coconut is made up of ?
The correct option is B Sclerenchyma
Explanation of the correct option:
- The husk of the coconut is made up of dead cells of Sclerenchyma.
- The type of sclerenchyma present in coconut husk is fibrous sclerenchyma.
- Sclerenchyma cells at maturity become dead cells
Explanation of the incorrect option:
Option A:
Collenchyma is simple permanent tissue that does not lose its ability to divide and hence remain living. Collenchyma has angled thick-walled cells that provide flexibility to plants.
Option C:
An apical meristem is a meristematic tissue that is responsible for the elongation of plants from the tip. They are growing cells that do not lose the ability to divide.
Option D:
The intercalary meristem is a meristematic tissue that is responsible for the growth of length in the middle portion, i.e, between the apical meristem and the base of the plant.
Final Answer: The husk of the coconut is made up of Sclerenchyma.
The correct option is (B)
