    Lignified.
  • D
    None of the above.
Answer
  1. Relatively unspecified and thin walled.

Explanation:

Parenchyma cells form the bulk of the plant body. Its cells are living and they possess the power of division. The cells are rounded or isodiametric, i.e., equally expanded on all sides. The cells are oval, round, polygonal or elongated in shape with a thin cell wall. It encloses a dense cytoplasm, which contains small nucleus and surrounds large central vacoule.

pH of blood in artery and vein is:
  • A
    Same
  • B
    More in artery and less in vein
  • C
    More in vein and less in artery
  • D
    Not definite
Answer
  1. More in vein and less in artery

Explanation:

pH of blood is more in the vein as compared to that in the artery as the plasma of the vein contains deoxygenated blood and dissolved CO2​ in the form of bicarbonate ions.

These ions increase the alkalinity of the plasma, therefore the pH value of blood is greater in the vein as to that of the artery

So, the correct answer is 'More in vein and less in artery'
