Let “s” be the distance covered, then – t₁ = s/2/3 = s/6 s/2 = 4.5t₂ + 7.5t₃ = 12t₂ Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time = S / s/6 + s/24 + s/24 = 4 m/s

False, xylem fibres are mainly supportive in function. Xylem parenchyma stores food and helps in sideways conduction of water.

Small holes on the epidermis of the leaf are called stomata. They are surrounded by two kidney-shaped cells called guard cells.
