Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The epidermis of green parts of plants like leaf and herbaceous stem posses many stomata which are surrounded by guard cells.

The outermost covering of the stem is termed as

  1. epidermis

  2. hypodermis

  3. cortex

  4. endodermis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is described as the outermost covering of the stem. It is represented by a single layer of densely arranged, barrel-shaped parenchymatous cells having no intercellular spaces.

Which of the following structures is situated in between the vascular bundles of the plants?

  1. Stele

  2. Pericycle

  3. Medullary rays

  4. Pith


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

These are situated in between the vascular bundles & are meant for the storage of food in the plant body.

Which among the following statements does not characterise the process of glycolysis?

  1. It requires the presence of oxygen.

  2. It is the first step of cellular respiration.

  3. It produces two ATP molecules.

  4. It utilizes FAD as an electron acceptor.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Glycolysis is defined as the first step of cellular respiration where glucose is oxidized to either lactate or pyruvate.

Select the wrong statement regarding the Lactic acid.

  1. It is produced as a result of aerobic metabolism of glucose.
