To determine which row best matches each ground tissue with its function, we need to understand the functions associated with each type of ground tissue and then match these with the given options.
Parenchyma Functions:
1. Food production and storage
2. Secretion of substances like nectar
3. Healing of plant parts
Collenchyma Functions:
1. Providing support and strength
2. Conduction of materials throughout the plant
Sclerenchyma Functions:
1. Providing protection and support
Analysis of Each Row:
- Row A:
- Parenchyma: For food production and storage (Correct)
- Collenchyma: For strength and support (Common, but conduction is missing)
- Sclerenchyma: For protection and support (Correct)
- Row B:
- Parenchyma: For secretion of substances like nectar (Common, but storage is missing)
- Collenchyma: For conduction of materials throughout the plant (Correct)
- Sclerenchyma: For healing of plant parts (Incorrect)
- Row C:
- Parenchyma: For strength and support (Incorrect, primarily a function of collenchyma)
- Collenchyma: For protection and support (Mixed roles, but primarily mechanical)
- Sclerenchyma: For food production and storage (Incorrect)
- Row D:
- Parenchyma: For healing of plant parts (Common, but storage is missing)
- Collenchyma: For protection and support (Mixed roles, but primarily mechanical)
- Sclerenchyma: For strength and support (Correct)
Best Matching Row:
- Row B is the most consistent:
- Parenchyma: For secretion of substances like nectar (role better understood, correct)
- Collenchyma: For conduction of materials throughout the plant (correct)
- Sclerenchyma: For protection and support (common and correctly assigned)
Thus, based on the given descriptions and matching functions with tissue types, Row B best matches each ground tissue with its function. The answer is:
B
