Biology : Anatomy of Flowering Plants

Cook cambium and vascular cambium are :

• parts of secondary xylem and phloem

• parts of pericycle

• lateral meristems

• apical meristems

Phytotron is :

• a controlled condition chamber for tissue

• leaf culture process

• special culture of plants

• root culture process

P-proteins belong to :

• xylem parenchyma

• trichomes

• sieve tube elements

• tracheids and vessels

Largest number of chloroplast is found in :

• palisade tissue

• spongy tissue

• transfusion tissue

• bundle sheath cells

Growth rings are formed due to activity of :

• extrastelar cambium

• intrastelar cambium

• interstelar cambium

• both 'b' and 'c'

Passage cells are found in

• dicot stem

• monocot root

• monocot stem

• all of these

Porous wood has abundance of 

• vessels

• fibres only

• tracheids

• sieve tubes

Velamen is a specialized tissue found in

• aerial roots of orchids

• succulent leaves

• pneumatophores

• stilt roots

Assertion : Monocot stem bears collateral open vascular bundles.

Reason : If cambium is absent such vascular bundles are called closed type.

• If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explantion of Assertion

• If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

• If Assertion is true but Reason is false

• If Assertion is false but Reason is true.
