In a dicot stem, the pericycle is present on the inner side of the endodermis and:
1. | above the phloem, in form of semi-lunar patches of sclerenchyma |
2. | above the xylem, in form of semi-lunar patches of sclerenchyma |
3. | above the phloem, in form of semi-lunar patches of collenchyma |
4. | above the xylem, in form of semi-lunar patches of collenchyma |
In a dicot root, initiation of lateral roots and vascular cambium during the secondary growth takes place in the cells of:
1. | Outer cortex | 2. | Inner cortex |
3. | Endodermis | 4. | Pericycle |
In a dicot stem the term 'starch sheath' is used for:
1. | Epidermis with guard cells | 2. | Hypodermis |
3. | Endodermis | 4. | Pericycle |
During the formation of primary plant body, dermal tissue, ground tissue and vascular tissue are produced by:
1. Primary meristems
2. Secondary meristems
3. Both primary and secondary meristems
4. Neither primary nor secondary meristems
All the following regarding parenchyma tissue in plants are correct except:
1. Cells are generally isodiametric
2. Cell walls are generally thick
3. Cell walls are made of cellulose
4. They perform photosynthesis, storage and secretion
All the following regarding collenchyma tissue in plants are correct except:
1. | It occurs below the epidermis of stem and leaves in most monocots |
2. | It is found either as a homogenous layer or in patches |
3. | Cells are much thickened at the corners |
4. | Intercellular spaces are absent |
All the following regarding sclerenchyma tissue in plants are correct except:
1. Cells have thick lignified walls
2. Cells are usually dead and without protoplasts
3. It provides mechanical support to plant organs
4. It can assimilate food when it contains chloroplasts
The vascular bundles in a dicot stem are:
