Parenchyma
Correct AnswerCollenchyma
Incorrect AnswerSclerenchyma
Incorrect AnswerComplex tissue
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Aquatic plants have specialized tissues for buoyancy.
- Large air sacs in these plants are crucial for floating.
- Parenchyma:
- Typically found surrounding these air sacs.
- Contains large intercellular spaces that aid buoyancy.
- Flexible and supports the plant's metabolic activities.
- Parenchyma is the correct choice.
- Collenchyma:
- Provides support to growing parts of plants.
- Not typically associated with air sacs in aquatic plants.
- Sclerenchyma:
- Offers rigid support.
- Lack of intercellular spaces, not suitable for buoyancy.
- Complex Tissue:
- Involves xylem and phloem.
- Does not directly relate to air sac's buoyancy function.
