Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the plant structures

The images depict cross-sections of a _Tradescantia pallida_ stem at increasing magnification. We need to identify the labeled structures.

Step 2: Determine the structures based on location and morphology
  • A: Cuticle
  • B: Epidermis
  • C: Cortex (parenchyma cells)
  • D: Sclerenchyma
  • E: Cortex (parenchyma cells)
  • F: Sclerenchyma
  • G: Phloem
  • H: Xylem
  • I: Cambium
  • J: Sclerenchyma
  • K: Phloem
  • L: Xylem
  • M: Vascular bundle
  • N: Pith
  • O: Pith (parenchyma cells)
  • P: Cortex (parenchyma cells)

Final Answer:

The structures labeled A-P in the images of _Tradescantia pallida_ stem cross-sections are: A-Cuticle, B-Epidermis, C-Cortex (parenchyma), D-Sclerenchyma, E-Cortex (parenchyma), F-Sclerenchyma, G-Phloem, H-Xylem, I-Cambium, J-Sclerenchyma, K-Phloem, L-Xylem, M-Vascular bundle, N-Pith, O-Pith (parenchyma), P-Cortex (parenchyma).
