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

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 |
Protophloem differs from metaphloem in having:
1. companion cells present
2. dead sieve tube elements
3. narrow sieve tubes
4. lignified phloem fibers
The incorrect statement regarding epidermal tissue system in angiosperms would be:
| 1. | It comprises of epidermal cells and stomata but not the appendages such as trichomes |
| 2. | It is the outermost layer of the primary plant body forming a continuous layer |
| 3. | It is usually single layered |
| 4. | Cells are parenchymatous with a large vacuole |
The meristem that helps grasses regenerate parts removed by the grazing herbivores is the:
| 1. | Shoot apical meristem | 2. | Root apical meristem |
| 3. | Intercalary meristem | 4. | Lateral meristem |
All the following are true for trichomes except:
| 1. | they are usually unicellular |
| 2. | they may be branched |
| 3. | they may be secretory |
| 4. | they help in prevention of water loss due to transpiration |
Permanent tissues in a plant body are formed following division of cells in:
1. Primary meristems only
2. Secondary meristems only
3. Both primary and secondary meristems
4. Neither primary nor secondary meristems
