Guard cells help in:
1. protection against grazing
2. transpiration
3. guttation
4. fighting against infection
Given below is the diagram of a stomatal apparatus. In which of the following, all the four parts labelled as A, B, C and D are correctly identified:
A | B | C | D | |

Some vascular bundles are described as open because these:
1. | are not surrounded by pericycle |
2. | are surrounded by pericycle but no endodermis |
3. | are capable of producing secondary xylem and phloem |
4. | possess conjunctive tissue between xylem and phloem |
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 |
