Which of the following is NOT a component of phloem tissue? A) Phloem fibres B) Sieve tube elements C) Companion cells D) Phloem parenchyma
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify which of the options is not a component of phloem tissue. Phloem is a type of vascular tissue in plants that transports sugars and other nutrients. The question requires knowledge of plant anatomy and the composition of phloem.
Answer
All options are components of phloem tissue.
All options, Phloem fibres, Sieve tube elements, Companion cells, and Phloem parenchyma, are components of phloem tissue. Therefore, none of them is the correct answer.

More Information
Phloem is a complex tissue in plants responsible for transporting sugars and other nutrients from the leaves to other parts of the plant. It consists of four main components: sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma, and phloem fibers.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse phloem components with xylem components, which are involved in water transport.
