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 |
1. | A - Adaxial epidermis | 2. | B - Phloem |
3. | C - Mesophyll | 4. | D - Abaxial epidermis |
a. | In roots, xylem and phloem in a vascular bundle are arranged in an alternate manner along the different radii. |
b. | Conjoint closed vascular bundles do not possess cambium. |
c. | In open vascular bundles, cambium is present in between xylem and phloem. |
d. | The vascular bundles of dicotyledonous stem possess endarch protoxylem. |
e. | In monocotyledonous root, usually there are more than six xylem bundles present. |
In old trees the greater part of secondary xylem is dark brown and resistant to insect attack due to :
a. | secretion of secondary metabolites and their deposition in the lumen of vessels. |
b. | deposition of organic compounds like tannins and resins in the central layers of stem. |
c. | deposition of suberin and aromatic substances in the outer layer of stem. |
d. | deposition of tannins, gum, resin and aromatic substances in the peripheral layers of stem. |
e. | presence of parenchyma cells, functionally active xylem elements and essential oils. |

Select the correct statements related to the activity of cork cambium:
1. | The outer cells differentiate into phelloderm. |
