| I: | Bulliform cells | large, bubble-shaped epidermal cells that occur in groups on the upper surface of the leaves of many monocots. |
| II: | Lenticels | a porous tissue consisting of cells with large intercellular spaces in the periderm of the secondarily thickened organs and the bark of woody stems and roots of dicotyledonous flowering plants |
| 1. | Xylem parenchyma and Phloem parenchyma |
| 2. | Xylem parenchyma and Phloem fibres |
| 3. | Xylem fibres and Phloem fibres |
| 4. | Xylem fibres and Phloem parenchyma |
| I: | Intercalary meristem is a primary meristem and contributes to the formation of the primary plant body. |
| II: | Cork cambium is a lateral meristem and produces secondary tissues. |
| 1. | Only I is correct |
| 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct |
| 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
| 1. | Heart wood does not conduct water but it gives mechanical support to the stem. |
| 2. | Autumn wood or late wood has a large number of xylary elements having vessels with wider cavities. |
| 3. | Phloem fibers are generally absent in the primary phloem |
| 4. | Gymnosperms lack sieve tubes and companion cells |
| 1. | Phloem parenchyma is absent in most of the dicotyledons |
| 2. | Vessels are the characteristic feature of gymnosperms |
| 3. | The radial conduction of water takes place by the ray parenchymatous cells |
| 4. | The first formed phloem consists of bigger sieve tubes and is referred to as protophloem |
| 1. | They help in absorption of water and minerals. |
| 2. | They help in preventing water loss due to transpiration. |
| 3. | They help in transpiration of water, the biological process by which water is lost in the form of water vapour from the aerial parts of the plants. |
| 4. | They allow interchange of gases between the internal tissue and the atmosphere. |
| 1. | Secondary growth does not occur in monocotyledons |
| 2. | The cells of secondary cortex are parenchymatous |
| 3. | Bark refers to all the tissues exterior to the vascular cambium, therefore it does not include secondary phloem |
| 4. | In the dicot root, the vascular cambium originates from the tissue located just below the phloem bundles, a portion of pericycle tissue, above the protoxylem forming a complete and continuous wavy ring, which later becomes circular |
| 1. | A - Adaxial epidermis | 2. | B - Phloem |
| 3. | C - Mesophyll | 4. | D - Abaxial epidermis |
| a. | In roots, xylem and phloem in a vascular bundle are arranged in an alternate manner along the different radii. |
| b. | Conjoint closed vascular bundles do not possess cambium. |
| c. | In open vascular bundles, cambium is present in between xylem and phloem. |
| d. | The vascular bundles of dicotyledonous stem possess endarch protoxylem. |
| e. | In monocotyledonous root, usually there are more than six xylem bundles present. |
| 1. | (a), (c), (d) and (e) only | 2. | (a), (b) and (d) only |
| 3. | (b), (c), (d) and (e) only | 4. | all statements are correct |
