Regarding the guard cells:
1. | walls away from the stomatal pores are thin and those towards the stomatal pores are thick |
2. | walls away from the stomatal pores are thick and those towards the stomatal pores are thin |
3. | chloroplasts are mostly absent |
4. | play no role in the regulation of opening and closing of stomata |
A simple plant tissue is characterized by:
1. continued cell division
2. presence of only living cells
3. cells with chloroplasts
4. presence of only one type of cells
All the following statements regarding the anatomy of a typical dicotyledonous root are correct except:
1. | Many cells of the epiblema protrude in the form of unicellular root hairs. |
2. | The innermost layer of the cortex is called as the endodermis. |
3. | Pericycle is made up of collenchymatous cells. |
4. | Parenchymatous conjunctive tissue lies between the xylem and phloem. |
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
The type of vascular bundles shown in the given figure would most likely be seen in:
1. | Dicotyledonous stem | 2. | Roots |
3. | Monocotyledonous stem | 4. | Leaves |
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 |
