Question

Which of the follwoing structures in not correctly matched to its corresponding tissue system?

A. cortex/dermal tissue system
B. cuticle/vascular tissue system
C. phloem/dermal tissue system
D.stele/vascular tissue system

Answer 1

The correct option is B. cuticle/vascular tissue system.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option in this case is B. cuticle/vascular tissue system.

First, let's define the terms:

• The cuticle is a waxy, waterproof layer on the surface of plant leaves and stems that helps reduce water loss.
• The vascular tissue system consists of xylem and phloem tissues and is responsible for transporting water, nutrients, and sugars within the plant.

On this basis, it is clear that the corresponding tissue system for the cuticle is the dermal tissue system, not the vascular tissue system.
