In which plant leaves are bulliform cells found?

  1. Mango

  2. Bamboo

  3. Lotus

  4. Ocimum


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bulliform cells are found in the epidermis of bamboo leaves, which is a grass. These cells cause leaves to roll up during water stress.

Which type of thickening is present in metaxylem?

  1. Sclariform

  2. Annular

  3. Spiral

  4. Pitted


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pitted thickening is seen in metaxylem. In pitted, tracheids are uniformly thickened, except for small unthickened area called pits.

Where are the passage cells located?

  1. Epidermis

  2. Hypodermis

  3. Endodermis

  4. Cortex


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Passage cells are found in root endodermis. They are thin walled cells just opposite to protoxylem patches that help in passage of water from cortex to xylem.

Where are radial vascular bundles found?

  1. Leaf

  2. Stem

  3. Flower

  4. Root


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Radial vascular bundles are found in dicot and monocot roots. This is the most primitive type of vascular bundle. In radial vascular bundles, xylem and phloem lie on separate radii.

What type of xylem the do the roots or stems of vascular plants have?

  1. Endarch

  2. Exarch

  3. Mesarch

  4. Centrarch


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Exarch development is seen in vascular plants. There are one or more primary xylems in stems or roots and the xylem develops from the outside inwards towards the centre.

What kind of secondary thickening reticulates do tracheids have?

  1. Ring type

  2. Helix type

  3. Ladder type

  4. Cross bands


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The secondary thickness is in the form of cross bands in reticulate type of tracheids.

Which type of stele is present in fern stems?

  1. Dictyostele

  2. Solenostele

  3. Eustele

  4. Both option 1 and 2


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Both, dictyostele and solenostele arrangement of vascular bundles are seen in ferns.

Which xylem cells are meant for storage of food?

  1. Xylem fibers

  2. Xylem tracheae

  3. Xylem tracheids

  4. Xylem parenchyma


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Xylem parenchyma stores food. These are found in between the vessels and the fibers.

Which of the following is the living component of xylem?

  1. Xylem fibers

  2. Xylem tracheids

  3. Xylem tracheae

  4. Xylem parenchyma


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Xylem parenchyma is the only living component of xylem tissue. It is represented by groups of parenchyma cells that are found in between the vessels and the fibers. They are meant for storage of reserve food.

Plate-like regions of xylem tissue appear in

  1. haplostele

  2. actinostele

  3. plectostele

  4. eustele


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Plectostele is a protostele in which plate-like regions of xylem appear in transverse section surrounded by phloem tissue.

Where does one find centrarch arrangement of protoxylem and metaxylem?

  1. The leaves and stems of many ferns.

  2. The roots of vascular plants.

  3. The stems of seed plants.

  4. It is not found anywhere at present.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The Centrarch pattern was common in early land plants, such as rhyniophytes, but is not present in any living plants.

The outer boundary of stele is defined by

  1. epidermis

  2. pericycle

  3. endodermis

  4. epiblema


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pericycle, which if present, defines the outermost boundary of the stele.

In which pattern is metaxylem closest to the centre of the stem?

  1. In endarch pattern

  2. In exarch pattern

  3. In mesarch pattern

  4. In centrarch pattern


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The metaxylem is closest to the centre of the stem or root and the protoxylem to the periphery in exarch pattern of protoxylem and metaxylem arrangement.

Tylosis is the bladder like outgrowth of

  1. sclerenchymatous cells

  2. parenchymatous cells

  3. collenchymatous cells

  4. epidermal cells


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A tylosis is a bladder-like distension of a parenchyma cells into the lumen of adjacent vessels in wood.

What are the glands containing essential oils from the skin of citrus fruits called?

  1. Lysigenous cavity

  2. Schizogenous cavity

  3. Resin glands

  4. Laticiferous tissue


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The glands containing essential oils from the skin of citrus fruits are lysigenous cavity, they are formed by destruction or dissolution of cells. Oil glands are found in lysigenous cavity.
