Guard cells help in:
| 1. | protection against grazing |
| 2. | transpiration |
| 3. | guttation |
| 4. | fighting against infection |
Given below is the diagram of a stomatal apparatus. In which of the following, all the four parts labelled as A, B, C and D are correctly identified:
| A | B | C | D | |
| 1. | Guard cell | Stomatal aperture | Subsidiary Cell | Epidermal Cell |
| 2. | Epidermal Cell | Guard Cell | Stomatal aperture | Subsidiary cell |
| 3. | Epidermal Cell | Subsidiary Cell | Stomatal aperture | Guard Cell |
| 4. | Subsidiary Cell | Epidermal Cell | Guard Cell | Stomatal aperture |

| 1. | Guard cells invariably possess chloroplasts and mitochondria |
| 2. | Guard cells are always surrounded by subsidiary cells |
| 3. | Stomata are involved in gaseous exchange |
| 4. | Inner walls of guard cells are thick |
| 1. | subsidiary cells | 2. | bulliform cells |

Some vascular bundles are described as open because these:
| 1. | are not surrounded by pericycle |
| 2. | are surrounded by pericycle but no endodermis |
| 3. | are capable of producing secondary xylem and phloem |
| 4. | possess conjunctive tissue between xylem and phloem |
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 perforations |
| 4. | xylem is surrounded all around by phloem |
