Question
Write down about location, structure and functions of parenchyma.

Answer

Structure: Parenchyma is a simple, permanent living tissue which is made up of thin-walled cells. The cells of this tissue are oval, elongated, and loosely packed with large intracellular space. Their cell wall is made up of cellulose. Each cell encloses a large central vacuole, cytoplasm and a prominent nucleus.
Location: The parenchyma tissue is present in soft parts of the plant such as cortex, pith, palisade and some parts of the flower.
Functions: Parenchyma tissue provides support to plants and also stores food. In some situations, it contains chlorophyll and performs photosynthesis.

A car is moving on a straight road with uniform acceleration. The speed of the car varies with time as follows:

Time (s) 0 2 4 6 8 10
Speed (m/s) 4 8 12 16 20 24

Draw the speed-time graph by choosing a convenient scale. From this graph:

  1. Calculate the acceleration of the car.
  2. Calculate the distance travelled by the car in 10 seconds.
