1. | Occurs in layers below the epidermis in most of the dicotyledonous plants |
2. | Cells are thickened at the corners due to deposition of cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin |
3. | There is considerable amount of intercellular space between cells |
4. | Provide mechanical support to the growing parts of the plants |
1. | are prominent in isobilateral leaf |
2. | is abaxially placed in dorsi-ventral leaf |
3. | are loosely arranged oval or round cells extending to the lower epidermis in dorsi-ventral leaf |
4. | is made of elongated cells vertically arranged parallel to each other in dorsi-ventral leaf |
I: | Bulliform cells | large, bubble-shaped epidermal cells that occur in groups on the upper surface of the leaves of many monocots. |
II: | Lenticells | a porous tissue consisting of cells with large intercellular spaces in the periderm of the secondarily thickened organs and the bark of woody stems and roots of dicotyledonous flowering plants |
I: | Intercalary meristem is a primary meristem and contributes to the formation of the primary plant body. |
II: | Cork cambium is a lateral meristem and produces secondary tissues. |
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
1. | Heart wood does not conduct water but it gives mechanical support to the stem. |
2. | Autumn wood or late wood has a large number of xylary elements having vessels with wider cavities. |
3. | Phloem fibers are generally absent in the primary phloem |
4. | Gymnosperms lack sieve tubes and companion cells |
1. | Phloem parenchyma is absent in most of the dicotyledons |
2. | Vessels are the characteristic feature of gymnosperms |
3. | The radial conduction of water takes place by the ray parenchymatous cells |
4. | The first formed phloem consists of bigger sieve tubes and is referred to as protophloem |
1. | They help in absorption of water and minerals. |
2. | They help in preventing water loss due to transpiration. |
3. | They help in transpiration of water, the biological process by which water is lost in the form of water vapour from the aerial parts of the plants. |
4. | They allow interchange of gases between the internal tissue and the atmosphere. |
1. | Secondary growth does not occur in monocotyledons |
2. | The cells of secondary cortex are parenchymatous |
3. | Bark refers to all the tissues exterior to the vascular cambium, therefore it does not include secondary phloem |
4. | In the dicot root, the vascular cambium originates from the tissue located just below the phloem bundles, a portion of pericycle tissue, above the protoxylem forming a complete and continuous wavy ring, which later becomes circular |
