Q.

 Consider the following statements:

1. 

Explanation:

ANSWER: (D) 

  • A few layers of cells beneath the epidermis are generally simple permanent tissue. 
  • Parenchyma is the most common simple permanent tissue. It consists of relatively unspecialised cells with thin cell walls. They are living cells. They are usually loosely arranged, thus large spaces between cells (intercellular spaces) are found in this tissue. This tissue generally stores food. 
  • In aquatic plants, large air cavities are present in parenchyma to help them float. Such a parenchyma type is called aerenchyma. (Thus, Statement 1 is correct)
  • In some situations, Parenchyma contains chlorophyll and performs photosynthesis, and then it is called chlorenchyma. (Thus, Statement 2 is correct)
