    Which of the following cell is enucleate at maturity ?

    A)                  Sieve tube                        

    B)  Xylem

    C)                  Tracheids                           

    D)  Fibre

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Phloem is a complex permanent vascular tissue which conducts organic food in plant body. It is composed of following structures : (i)Sieve tube: They are conducting element of phloem. These tubes are formed by joining sieve tube cells. Sieve tube cells becomes enucleated at maturity.                 (ii)Companion cells : They           are thin-walled elongated cells which are connected with sieve tube cells and controls metabolic activities of sieve tube cells.                 (iii)Phloem paranchyma : It takes part in storage as well as slow lateral conduction of food.                 (iv) Phloem fibres :         They are sclerenchyma fibres that occurs in sheets or cylinders. Xylem is a complex permanent tissue which conducts sap or water. It also provides mechanical strength. Xylem is made up of four types of cells i.e., tracheids, vessels, xylem fibres and xylem paranchyma.
