Companion cells are closely associated with

  1. Sieve elements
  2. Trichomes
  3. Vessel elements
  4. Guard cells

Answer

(1) Sieve elements

Solution

As per NCERT, companion cells are specialised parenchymatous cells which are closely associated with sieve tube elements; the two are connected by pit fields in their common longitudinal walls.

∵ The functions of sieve tubes are controlled by the nucleus of companion cells, the two work as one unit of phloem.

The common bottle cork is a product of

  1. Phellogen
  2. Xylem
  3. Vascular Cambium

Some vascular bundles are described as open because these :

  1. are capable of producing secondary xylem and phloem
  2. are not surrounded by pericycle
  3. possess conjunctive tissue between xylem and phloem
  4. are surrounded by pericycle but no endodermis
