Regarding the guard cells:
1. | walls away from the stomatal pores are thin and those towards the stomatal pores are thick |
2. | walls away from the stomatal pores are thick and those towards the stomatal pores are thin |
3. | chloroplasts are mostly absent |
4. | play no role in the regulation of opening and closing of stomata |
Character | Dicot[Dorsiventral] | Monocot [Isobilateral] | |
1. | Presence of stomata | More on adaxial epidermis | More on abaxial epidermis |
2. | Mesophyll | Differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma | Not differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma |
3. | Venation | Mostly reticulate | Mostly parallel |
4. | Size of vascular bundle | Dependent on the size of veins | Near similar size except in main veins |
A | B | C | D | |
1. | Bundle sheath cells | Palisade mesophyll | Spongy mesophyll | Abaxial epidermis |
2. | Bundle sheath cells | Palisade mesophyll | Spongy mesophyll | Adaxial epidermis |
3. | Spongy mesophyll | Bundle sheath cells | Palisade mesophyll | Abaxial epidermis |
4. | Palisade mesophyll | Spongy mesophyll | Bundle sheath cells | Adaxial epidermis |
1. | A - Adaxial epidermis | 2. | B - Phloem |
3. | C - Mesophyll | 4. | D - Abaxial epidermis |
1. | wide variations in size of vascular bundles in the main veins |
2. | wide variations in size of vascular bundles except in the main veins |
3. | near similar size of vascular bundles in the main veins |
4. | near similar size of vascular bundles except in the main veins |
I: | the stomata are present on both the surfaces of the epidermis |
II: | the mesophyll is not differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma |
I: | The stomata are present on both the surfaces of the epidermis. |
II: | The mesophyll is not differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma. |
III: | The parallel venation in monocot leaves is reflected in the near similar sizes of vascular bundles (except in main veins) as seen in vertical sections of the leaves. |
Statement I: | In grasses, certain adaxial epidermal cells along the veins modify themselves into large, empty, colourless bulliform cells. |
Statement II: | When the bulliform cells in the leaves have absorbed water and are turgid, the leaf surface is exposed. |
