The annular and spirally thickened conducting elements generally develop in the protoxylem when the root or stem is
1. differentiating | 2. maturing |
3. elongating | 4. widening |
Anatomically, fairly old dicotyledonous root is distinguished from the dicotyledonous stem by
1. Position of protoxylem
2. Absence of secondary xylem
3. Absence of secondary phloem
4. Presence of cortex

Heart wood differs from sapwood in
1. Absence of vessels and parenchyma

3. Being susceptible to pests and pathogens
4. Presence of rays and fibres

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

Water containing cavities in vascular bundles are found in
1. Sunflower | 2. Maize |
3. Cycas | 4. Pinus |
As compared to a dicot root, a monocot root has
1. More abundant secondary xylem
2. Many xylem bundles
3. Inconspicuous annual rings
4. Relatively thicker periderm

You are given a fairly old piece of dicot stem and a dicot root. Which of the following anatomical structures will you use to distinguish between the two?
1. Secondary xylem | 2. Secondary phloem |
3. Protoxylem | 4. Cortical cells |

A major characteristic of the monocot root is the presence of
1. Scattered vascular bundles
2. Vasculature without cambium
3. Cambium sandwiched between phloem and xylem along the radius
4. Open vascular bundles
Vascular bundles in monocotyledons are considered closed because
1. Cambium is absent
2. There are no vessels with perforations
3. Xylem is surrounded all around by phloem
4. A bundle sheath surrounds each bundle
