Secondary xylem and phloem in dicot stem are produced by?
| 1. | Apical meristems | 2. | Vascular cambium |
| 3. | Phellogen | 4. | Axillary meristems |
| 1. | Epidermis | 2. | Pericycle |
| 3. | Cortex | 4. | Endodermis |
| 1. | subsidiary cells | 2. | bulliform cells |
| 3. | lenticels | 4. | complementary cells |
Read the different components from I to IV in the list given below and tell the correct order of the components with reference to their arrangement from the outer side to the inner side in a woody dicot stem.
| I. | Secondary Cortex |
| II. | Wood |
| III. | Secondary phloem |
| IV. | Phellem |
The correct order is:
| 1. | III, IV, II, I | 2. | I, II, IV, III |
| 3. | IV, I, III, II | 4. | IV, III, I, II |
Vascular bundles in monocotyledons are considered closed because:
| 1. | a bundle sheath surrounds each bundle |
| 2. | cambium is absent |
| 3. | there are no vessels with perforations |
| 4. | xylem is surrounded all around by phloem |
Age of a tree can be estimated by:
1. biomass
2. number of annual rings
3. diameter of its heartwood
4. its height and girth
Lenticels are involved in:
| 1. | Gaseous exchange | 2. | Food transfer |
| 3. | Photosynthesis | 4. | Transpiration |
Interfascicular cambium develops from the cells of:
1. Xylem parenchyma
2. Endodermis
3. Pericycle
4. Medullary rays
Companion cells are closely associated with:
| 1. | Sieve elements | 2. | Vessel elements |
| 3. | Trichomes | 4. | Guard cells |
