The layer of periderm is composed of

  1. cork cambium and bark

  2. cork cambium and secondary cortex

  3. cork cambium, secondary cortex and cork

  4. cork, bark and secondary cortex

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Periderm is composed of cork cambium, secondary cortex and cork.

The nature of vascular bundle in dicot stem generally is

  1. radial

  2. concentric

  3. collateral

  4. eccentric

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Here the xylem is towards the inner side surrounded by the phloem. This is the characteristic of dicot stems.

What is the function of sclerenchyma in vascular plants?

  1. Photosynthesis

  2. Conduction

  3. Support

  4. Storage

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Support is provided by the dead tissue called sclerenchyma.

Which among the following possesses multiple epidermis?

  1. Banyan leaf

  2. Sunflower leaf

  3. Maize leaf

  4. Hibiscus leaf

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Many layered protective epidermis is found in banyan leaf.

Which of the following is true about stomata in submerged leaves?

  1. Stomata are present on both the surfaces.

  2. Stomata are present on the upper surface.

  3. Stomata are present on the lower surface.

  4. Stomata are absent.

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This occurs in the leaves of submerged plants where stomata are not needed.

Growth rings are formed due to the activity of

  1. extra stelar cambium

  2. intra stelar cambium

  3. primary cambium

  4. intercalary cambium

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

An annual formation of wood in plants, consisting of two concentric layers, one of springwood and one of summerwood, resulting in annual ring formation helped by intercalary cambium.

Root hair arise from

  1. pericycle

  2. endodermis

  3. cortex

  4. epiblema

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A thin hair-like outgrowth of an epidermal cell of a plant root that absorbs water and minerals from the soil is called root hair. They arise from epiblema, which is the outer protective covering of the roots.

What kind of plant is Trapa?

  1. Xerophyte

  2. Hydrophyte

  3. Mesophyte

  4. Halophyte

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Trapa is a rooted, floating plant that invades shallow to deep, fresh water habitats in the northeastern United States.

The arrangement of xylem in a stem is said to be

  1. exarch

  2. collateral

  3. bicollateral

  4. endarch

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the main characteristic of stems where the metaxylem is towards the periphery and protoxylem is in the centre.

In angiosperms, the leaf gap is found in

  1. internode

  2. nodes

  3. shoot apex

  4. petiole

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A leaf gap is a space in the stem of a plant through which the leaf grows. It is found in the nodes.

Which of the following options best describes hydathodes?

  1. Pores in the bark

  2. Pores through which transpiration takes place

  3. Special openings in the leaf through which liquid water is forced out

  4. Stomata in water plants

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A hydathode is a type of secretory tissue in leaves, usually found in angiosperms, that secretes water through pores in the epidermis or margin of leaves, typically at the tip of a marginal tooth or serration.

In land plants, guard cells differ from other epidermal cells in the possession of

  1. mitochondria

  2. chloroplasts

  3. nucleus

  4. endoplasmic reticulum

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Epidermal cells do not contain chloroplast but guard cells contain chloroplast and thus, help in photosynthesis.

The presence of casparian strips is the characteristic of which layer of cells?

  1. Pericycle

  2. Periblem

  3. Endosperm

  4. Endodermis

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This layer contains barrel-shaped cells with the special thickenings in them in the form of casparian strips. Cells without this strips are called as passage cells.

The lateral branch in a root arises out of which layer of the root?

  1. Epidermis

  2. Cortex

  3. Pericycle

  4. Phloem

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lateral roots arise from it. Pericycle is present beneath the endodermis.

Which of the following can be seen in monocot root?

  1. A large pith

  2. No pith

  3. Medullary rays

  4. Endarch xylem

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is the main character of monocot root.
