Question

Which type of plant would most likely be the most nutritionally valuable to a human? which type of plant would most likely be the most nutritionally valuable to a human? a plant with 90% ground tissue and 10% vascular tissue a plant with minimal reproductive organs a plant with 10% ground tissue and 90% vascular tissue a plant that has no ground tissue?

Answer 1

The correct answer is "a plant with 90% ground tissue and 10% vascular tissue"

Ground tissue, also known as the parenchyma of the plant, is composed of cells with photosynthetic organelles (i.e. chloroplasts). These cells are actively producing sugars and starch from light, water, and carbon dioxide and stores it in the cells of the parenchyma. This makes the ground tissue nutritionally beneficial for humans because of the amount of energy in the ground tissue itself.
