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
