Question
Companion cell in plants are associated with
vessels
sieve elements
sperms
guard cells
Solution
B.
sieve elements
Companion cell A type of cell found within the phloem of flowering plants. Each companion cell is usually closely associated with a sieve element. Its function is uncertain, though it appears to regulate the activity of the adjacent sieve element and to take part in loading and unloading sugar into the sieve element. In gymnosperms a similar function is attributed to albuminous cells, which are found closely associated with gymnosperm sieve elements
