Which of the following statements is false about a leaf?
1. A leaf is said to be simple, when its lamina is entire or when incised, the incisions do not touch the margin
2. A leaf is said to be compound when the incisions of lamina reach up to the midrib breaking into several leaflets
3. Leaf is the most important vegetative organ for photosynthesis
4. Leaf is not a transpiratory organ
Photosynthetic organ originates from _______ meristem and arranged in _______ order.
1. Lateral, basipetal
2. Root apical, acropetal
3. Shoot apical, acropetal
4. Intercalary, acropetal
Select the odd one out with respect to veins
1. Provide rigidity to the leaf blade
2. Act as channels of transport for water and minerals
3. Veins are filled with parenchyma
4. Middle prominent vein is mid-rib
Leaves originate from-
1. shoot apical meristems and arranged acropetal order
2. shoot apical meristem and arranged in a basipetal order
3. root apical meristem
4. stem
Which of the following statement is true?
1. In Alstonia the petioles expand, become green, and synthesize food.
2. Leaves are modified into tendrils for climbing as in pumpkins.
3. Imbricate aestivation of petals occur in the flower of Calotropis.
4. In palmately compound leaves the leaflets are attached at a common point
Veins of leaf in addition to acting as channels of transport of water, minerals and food materials also
1. Determine the extent of incision of the lamina
2. Provide rigidity to the leaf blade
3. Hold the leaf blade to light
4. Flutter the leaf in wind thus, helping in cooling of leaf and bringing fresh air
Leaf is
(1) Exogenous in origin
(2) Endogenous in origin
(3) Mesogenous in origin
(4) No basis of origin
Consider the following statements:
I: | The roots hair are unicellular and arise from the region of maturation. |
II: | Terminal buds of stems may get modified to thorns. |

Which of the above statements are true?
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III

II. pulvinus leaf-base is present in some leguminous plants.
III. In Alstonia, the petioles expand, become green and synthesize food.
IV. Opposite phyllotaxy is seen in guava.
1. II and IV are correct but I and III are wrong
2. I and III are correct but II and IV are wrong
3. I and IV are correct but II and III are wrong
