All the following statements regarding collenchyma in plants is true except:
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

Which of the following statements is true regarding the complex tissues found in plants?
 
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

What is the function of trichomes on the stems?
 
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.

Identify the incorrect statement regarding the secondary growth seen in plants:
 
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
