Bulliform cells:
1. are adaxial epidermal cells in grasses that are large, empty, colourless cells and involved in folding and unfolding of leaf tissue in order to reduce overall water loss.
2. are adaxial epidermal cells in grasses that are large, empty, colourless cells and involved in regulating the opening and closing of stomata for exchange of gases.
3. are adaxial epidermal cells in dicot leaves that are filled with thick sap and involved in regulating water content in leaf.
4. are abaxial epidermal cells in dicot leaves that are similar to vacuoles and involved in storage of toxins and water.

How many of the given statements regarding stomata in plants are correct?
I: Stomata are structures present in the epidermis of leaves.
II: Stomata regulate the process of transpiration and gaseous exchange.
III: Each stoma is composed of two bean-shaped cells known as subsidiary cells which enclose stomatal pore.
IV: In grasses, the guard cells are dumb-bell shaped.
V: The inner walls of guard cells (towards the stomatal pore) are thin and the outer walls (away from the stomatal pore) are highly thickened.

Statement II: The cells of the endodermis are rich in protein granules.
Statement III: Pericycle is in the form of semi-lunar patches of sclerenchyma.
Statement IV: The ‘ring’ arrangement of vascular bundles is a characteristic of dicot stem.
