Identify the incorrect statement regarding the anatomy of flowering plants:
1. Plants have cells as the basic unit.
2. Different organs in plants show differences in their internal structure.
3. Within angiosperms, dicots and monocots are anatomically different.
4. Adaptations to diverse environments are seen in external structures only.
Phloem in angiosperms is composed of all the following except:
1. Sieve cells
2. Companion cells
3. Phloem parenchyma
4. Phloem fibers
The nucleus of companion cells controls the functions of:
1. Sieve cells
2. Sieve tubes
3. Albuminous cells
4. Phloem parenchyma
In the given diagram of phloem in an angiosperm, the structure not seen in most of the monocots is indicated by the letter:
| 1. A 2. B 3. C 4. D |
 |
Phloem fibers [bast fibers] are:
| 1. | made up of collenchyma and generally not seen in primary phloem |
| 2. | made up of collenchyma and generally not seen in secondary phloem |
| 3. | made up of sclerenchyma and generally not seen in primary phloem |
| 4. | made up of sclerenchyma and generally not seen in secondary phloem |
Which of the following components of the phloem tissue in angiosperms loses protoplasm and becomes dead at maturity?

The meristem which occurs between mature tissues in a plant body is known as:
| 1. Secondary meristem | 2. Intercalary meristem |
| 3. Lateral meristem | 4. Cylindrical meristems |
