Which of the following are present in the epidermal covering of legumes?

  1. Osteosclereides

  2. Macrosclereides

  3. Astrosclereides

  4. Brachysclereides


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Macrosclereides are present in the epidermal covering of legumes.

Piliferous layer is the another name of

  1. laticiferous tissue

  2. hypodermis

  3. root epidermis

  4. endodermis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The root epidermis is also called piliferous layer because it bears root hair.

Which type of vascular bundles is found in ferns?

  1. Leptocentric

  2. Hydrocentric

  3. Radial

  4. Bicollateral


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In ferns, hydrocentric vascular bundles are found. In these, phloem surrounds the xylem, thus xylem is in the centre.

The water-excreting structure(s) from which water oozes out as droplets is/are called

  1. guttation

  2. hydathodes

  3. nectaries

  4. resin glands


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The water-excreting structures from which water oozes out as droplets are called hydathodes.

Phloem is also known as

  1. companion cells

  2. sieve tubes

  3. bast

  4. callose


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Phloem cells are also known as bast.

Which of the following is not a part of ground tissue system?

  1. Cortex

  2. Pericycle

  3. Cambium

  4. Medulla


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cambium is a part of vascular tissue system.

Cell wall of sclerenchymatous tissue is coated with

  1. pectin

  2. lignin

  3. wax

  4. protein


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cell wall of sclerenchymatous tissue is coated with lignin, which provides strength.

What are bast fibres?

  1. They are sclerenchymatous fibres associated with xylem.

  2. They are sclerenchymatous fibres associated with cortex.

  3. They are sclerenchymatous fibres associated with phloem.

  4. They are cutinised parenchymatous cells.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Bast fibers are sclerenchymatous fibres associated with phloem.

In collenchyma cells, the thickening of corners is made up of

  1. lignin

  2. pectin

  3. suberin

  4. resin


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In collenchyma cells, the thickening of corners is made up of pectin.

The stomata which occur in equal number on both surfaces of leaves are called ____________.

  1. apple type stomata

  2. oat type stomata

  3. potato type stomata

  4. protomogeton type stomata


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In oat type, stomata are equal on both the surfaces of leaves.

What is mesophyll?

  1. Epidermis of leaf

  2. Chlorophyll found in some stems

  3. Ground tissue system of leaves

  4. Cells underneath epidermis of leaf


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mesophyll is the ground tissue system of leaves. It is made up of two types of photosynthetic cells, i.e. pallisade and spongy.

Hypodermis of a dicot stem consists of

  1. sclerenchymatous cells

  2. collenchymatous cells

  3. parenchymatous cells

  4. chlorenchymatous cells


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In dicots, the hypodermis occurs as one or more continuous layers of collenchymatous cells.

Where is casparian strip located?

  1. In epidermis

  2. In hypodermis

  3. In cortex

  4. In endodermis


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Casparian strip is located in endodermis. It blocks the passive flow of materials, such as water and solutes into the stele of a plant.

Which of the following organelles is not present in sieve tubes at maturity?

  1. Cytoplasm

  2. Vacuole

  3. Nucleus

  4. Cell wall


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Nucleus is absent in mature sieve tubes. They use the nucleus of companion cells for metabolic regulation.

Which of the following is an example of lateral meristem?

  1. Pith

  2. Cambium

  3. Cortex

  4. Phloem


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cambium is an example of lateral meristem.
