Specialised epidermal cells surrounding the guard cells are called ?

1. subsidiary cells

2. bulliform cells

3. lenticels

4. complementary cells

Vascular bundles in monocotyledons are considered closed because

1. a bundle sheath surrounds each bundle

2. cambium is absent

3. there are no vessels with performations

4. xylem is surrounded all around by phloem

A major characteristic of the monocot root is the presence of

1. open vascuiar bundles

2. scattered vascular bundles

3. vasculature without cambium

4. cambium sandwiched between phloem and xylem along the radius
