Q. No.Read the different components from I to IV in the list given below and tell the correct order of the components with reference to their arrangement from the outer side to the inner side in a woody dicot stem.
| I. | Secondary Cortex |
| II. | Wood |
| III. | Secondary phloem |
| IV. | Phellem |
The correct order is:
| 1. | III, IV, II, I | 2. | I, II, IV, III |
| 3. | IV, I, III, II | 4. | IV, III, I, II |
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 |
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 |
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
Tracheids differ from the tracheary elements in:
1. Having casparian strips
2. Being imperforate
3. Lacking nucleus
4. Being lignified
Lenticels are involved in:
1. Gaseous exchange
2. Food transfer
3. Photosynthesis
4. Transpiration
| 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 |
Companion cells are closely associated with:
1. Sieve elements
2. Vessel elements
3. Trichomes
4. Guard cells
