  1. trachea

  2. xylem fibre

  3. sclereid

  4. parenchyma

  5. tracheid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sclereids are found in fruit or seed walls and also in the flesh of apples and pineapples. 

In the root of dicot plants, the passage cells are characteristically found in the ________________.

  1. vascular bundles

  2. endodermis

  3. pericycle

  4. cortex

  5. epiblema


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is the innermost layer of cortex formed by compactly arranged barrel-shaped cells. Some of the cells in the endodermis are thin-walled and are known as passage cells. The passage cells allow water to pass into the xylem vessels.

The sclereids found in the petiole of lotus and tea leaves are _____________.

  1. macrosclereids

  2. brachysclereids

  3. filiform sclereids

  4. osteosclereids

  5. astrosclereids


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

These are branched as a star. For example: Petiole of lotus and tea leaves.

Which among the following types of the parechymatous cells is meant for storage of water in the plants?

  1. Prosenchyma

  2. Medullary parenchyma

  3. Arenchyma

  4. Armed parenchyma

  5. Conjunctive parenchyma


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Conjunctive parenchyma is the parenchyma which occurs in the root system. It is specially meant for storage of water.

Suberin is the main constituent of cork in the higher plants. Which of the following regions in the ground tissue of the plants is associated with suberin?

  1. Pith

  2. Endodermis

  3. Pericycle

  4. Hypodermis

  5. Cortex


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Endodermis is the inner most layer of cortex represented by a single layer of compactly arranged barrel-shaped parenchyma cells. In the stem, it is meant for storage. In the root, it plays an important role in the movement of absorbed water. Some of the cells in the root endodermis contain secondary thickenings called casparian thickenings formed by a waxy substance called suberin.

The epithelium tissue associated with the kidney tubules as well as in the ducts of the glands is ________________.

  1. simple cuboidal epithelium

  2. stratified epithelium

  3. glandular epithelium

  4. ciliated columnar epithelium

  5. simple columnar epithelium


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The cuboidal cells are roughly square or cuboidal in shape. Each cell has a spherical nucleus in the centre. Cuboidal epithelium is found in glands and in the lining of the kidney tubules as well as in the ducts of the glands.

In humans, the inner lining of the mouth, esophagus, and vagina is formed by a _____________.

  1. simple squamous epithelium

  2. stratified squamous epithelium

  3. stratified cuboidal epithelium

  4. stratified columnar epithelium

  5. pseudostratified epithelium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A stratified squamous epithelium consists of squamous (flattened) epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane. It forms the outermost layer of the skin and the inner lining of the mouth, esophagus and vagina.

Which among the following statements does not characterise phloem tissues in higher plants?

  1. The phloem tubes sit on the outside of the xylem.

  2. The movement through the phloem is driven by positive hydrostatic pressures.

  3. Phloem sap helps in sending informational signals throughout vascular plants.

  4. When the plant is an embryo, vascular tissue emerges from cambium tissue.

  5. Messenger RNAs are transported in the phloem through sieve tube elements.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

When the plant is an embryo, vascular tissue emerges from procambium tissue which is at the center of the embryo. Protophloem itself appears in the mid-vein extending into the cotyledonary node which constitutes the first appearance of a leaf in angiosperms where it forms continuous strands.

Wharton's jelly is a specialised tissue serving many purposes for the developing fetus. The connective tissue associated with Wharton's Jelly is _________________________.

  1. dense regular connective tissue

  2. reticular connective tissue

  3. dense irregular tissue

  4. adipose tissue

  5. mucous connective tissue


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Mucous connective tissue is a type of connective tissue found during fetal development. It is composed mainly of ground substance with few cells or fibers. It is most easily found as a component of Wharton's jelly. Mucous connective tissue forms the umbilical cord.

The pattern of xylem development observed in the roots of vascular plants is _____________________.

  1. mesarch

  2. endarch

  3. exarch

  4. centrarch

  5. polyarch


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Exarch is used when there is more than one strand of primary xylem in a stem or root and the xylem develops from the outside inwards towards the center i.e. centripetally. The roots of vascular plants are normally considered to have exarch development.

Which among the following statements regarding the upwards water transport by xylem is incorrect?

  1. Metaxylem develops after the protoxylem but before the secondary xylem.

  2. The xylem transports water and soluble mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant.

  3. Root pressure is lowest in the morning.

  4. Adhension is the force responsible for the capillary action movement of water.

  5. Transpirational pull requires that the vessels transporting the water are very small in diameter.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Root pressure is highest in the morning, before the stomata open and allow transpiration to begin. Different plant species can have different root pressures even in a similar environment.

The hardwood of angiosperms and the softwood of conifers differ from each other by _______________________.

  1. xylem parenchyma

  2. vascular cambium

  3. tracheids

  4. vessel element

  5. xylem fibres


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A vessel element is one of the cell types found in xylem. Vessel elements are typically found in flowering plants (angiosperms) but absent from most gymnosperms, such as conifers. Vessel elements are the main feature distinguishing the hardwood of angiosperms from the softwood of conifers.

In a typical monocot root, which of the following layers are formed by a single layer of compactly arranged, barrel-shaped parenchymatous cells?

  1. Epiblema

  2. Pericycle

  3. Cortex

  4. Vascular bundles

  5. Stele


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Epiblema is the outermost covering of the root formed by a single layer of compactly arranged, barrel-shaped, parenchyma cells. The cells are characteristically thin-walled since they are involved in absorption of water. A cuticle and stomata are absent. Some of the epiblema cells are produced into long unicellular projections called root hairs. Hence, the epiblema is also known as a piliferous layer.

Which among the following is meant only for storage of organic food in all the higher plants?

  1. Phloem fibres

  2. Phloem parenchyma

  3. Vascular cambium

  4. The sieve cells

  5. Companion cells


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Phloem parenchyma is represented by a group of living parenchyma cells that are found in-between the sieve tubes. They are meant only for storage of organic food.

The diameter of axon is regulated by ____________________________.

  1. endoneurium

  2. epineurium

  3. perineurium

  4. neurolemma

  5. neurofibrils


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Neurofilaments are the intermediate filaments found in neurons. They are a major component of the neuronal cytoskeleton, and are believed to function primarily to provide structural support for the axon and to regulate axon diameter. Neurofilaments are composed of polypeptide chains or subunits which belong to the same protein family.
