Which cell does not have perforated cell wall?
(a) Tracheids
(b) Companion cells
(c) Sieve tubes
(d) Vessels
Answer- (a)
Solution- Tracheids and vessels are present in the xylem and help in the water conduction.
These are tube-like structures with partially or completely dissolved walls to form water pipes (in vessels) and pits in the cell wall (in tracheids) for water conduction. Companion cells possess a perforated cell wall. Sieve tubes consist of sieve elements which are elongated cells, connected to each other via sieve plates to form a continuous tube system that spreads out through the entire plant.
They are present in the phloem and are the main food conducting elements.
The correct option is- (a)- Tracheids
