1. | They enclose stomata. |
2. | They are bean shaped in grasses. |
3. | The outer walls are thin and the inner walls are highly thickened. |
4. | They possess chloroplasts. |
I: | It usually develops in the cortex region and is a couple of layers thick. |
II: | It cuts off cells on both sides where the inner cells differentiate into cork and the outer cells differentiate into secondary cortex. |
1. | Sapwood is involved in conduction of water and minerals from root to leafs. |
2. | Sapwood is the innermost secondary xylem and is lighter in colour |
3. | Due to deposition of tannins, resins, oils etc., heart wood is dark in colour. |
4. | Heart wood does not conduct water but gives mechanical support. |
I: | Epiblema | Many of the cells of epiblema protrude in the form of unicellular root hairs. |
II: | Endodermis | The tangential as well as radial walls of the cells have a deposition of suberin in the form of casparian strips. |
III: | Pericycle | Initiation of lateral roots and vascular cambium during the secondary growth takes place in these cells |
IV: | Pith | Large and well developed. |
Statement I: | Endarch and exarch are the terms often used for describing the position of secondary xylem in the plant body. |
Statement II: | Exarch condition is the most common feature of the root system. |
Assertion (A): | Late wood has fewer xylary elements with narrow vessels. |
Reason (R): | Cambium is less active in winters. |
1. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
4. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
A: | Lenticels are the lens-shaped openings permitting the exchange of gases. |
B: | Bark formed early in the season is called hard bark. |
C: | Bark is a technical term that refers to all tissues exterior to vascular cambium. |
D: | Bark refers to periderm and secondary phloem. |
E: | Phellogen is single- layered in thickness. |
