The leaf that has the same structure on both of the surfaces, with the stomata on both, is called:
Answer: A. isobilateral, as in the monocot leaf
Why: The dicot leaf is dorsiventral.
The cells of the meristematic tissues are:
Answer: B. thin-walled, with dense cytoplasm, a prominent nucleus and no vacuoles, and are capable of division
Why: They are the actively dividing cells.
Annual rings visible in the cross-section of a dicot tree trunk arise because:
Answer: A. spring wood and autumn wood produced by the cambium differ in density and colour
Why: Cambial activity varies with season: spring wood has wider vessels and is lighter, autumn wood is denser and darker, and the contrast between consecutive years appears as a ring.
The trichomes on the stem epidermis are usually:
Answer: D. multicellular, and may be branched or unbranched, soft or stiff; they help in preventing the water loss
Why: The root hairs are unicellular.
The spongy parenchyma in the dicot leaf is:
Answer: A. loosely arranged, with the large air spaces, and lies towards the lower epidermis
Why: It allows the exchange of gases.
Collenchyma provides:
Answer: D. mechanical support to growing parts such as young stems and petioles
Why: Its cells have thickened corners (pectin and cellulose) and are living, allowing extension as the organ grows.
The heartwood is:
Answer: D. the dark, hard, central secondary xylem, which is filled with tannins, resins, oils and gums, and is non-functional in conduction
Why: The sapwood is the peripheral, lighter-coloured part.
The guard cells of a dicot stomata are:
Answer: B. bean-shaped
Why: The guard cells of the grass are dumb-bell shaped.
