Explanation:

Sclerenchyma is the tissue that makes the plant hard and stiff.

It is the supporting tissue in plants and is composed of dead cells with highly thickened cell walls (due to extensive deposition of lignin).

Two types of sclerenchyma cells exist: fibres and sclereids.

Sclerenchyma fibres are of great economic importance since they constitute the source material for many fabrics (e.g. flax, hemp, jute, etc).

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'
