I have been asked this question in my homework.

This is a very interesting question from Flowering Plants Anatomy in portion Anatomy of Flowering Plants of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) The intercellular gaps in Parenchyma are negligible

Easy explanation: The packing tissues in plants that stores food, nutrients and water are called Parenchyma. Parenchyma with chlorophyll is called chlorenchyma and parenchyma with air is called aerenchyma. The intercellular gaps in Parenchyma are large. Aerenchyma is mostly present in aquatic plants and chlorenchyma is present in leaves.
