(1) aerenchyma

(2) trichomes

(3) pneumatophores

(4) lenticels

Companion cells in plants are associated with

(1) vessels

(2) sperms

Cork cambium results in the formation of cork which becomes impermeable to water due to the accumulation of

(1) resins

(2) suberin

(3) lignins

(4) tannins

Which one of the following statements pertaining to plant structure is correct?

(1) Cork lacks stomata, but lenticels carry out transpiration.

(2) Passage cells help in transfer of food from cortex to phloem.

(3) Sieve tube elements possess cytoplasm but no nuclei.

(4) The shoot apical meristem has a quiescent centre.

Grafting is successful in dicots but not in monocots because the dicots have

(1) Vascular bundles arranged in a ring

(2) Cambium for secondary growth

(3) Vessels with elements arranged end to end
