Select the correct pair.

  1. Loose parenchyma cells rupturing the epidermis and forming a lens shaped opening in bark - Spongy parenchyma
  2. Large colorless empty cells in the epidermis of grass leaves - Subsidiary cells
  3. In dicot leaves, vascular bundles are surrounded by large thick-walled cells - Conjunctive tissue
  4. Cells of medullary rays that form part of cambial ring - Interfascicular cambium

Answer

(4) Cells of medullary rays that form part of cambial ring - Interfascicular cambium

Solution

(1) Incorrect – the lens-shaped openings in the bark are lenticels; the loosely arranged parenchyma cells in them are complementary cells, not spongy parenchyma.

(2) Incorrect – large, empty, colourless cells in the upper epidermis of grass leaves are bulliform cells; subsidiary cells surround the guard cells.

(3) Incorrect – vascular bundles of dicot leaves are surrounded by a layer of thick-walled bundle sheath cells; conjunctive tissue is the parenchyma between xylem and phloem in roots.

(4) Correct – as per NCERT, the cells of medullary rays adjoining the intrafascicular cambium become meristematic and form the interfascicular cambium, completing the cambial ring.

Answer: (4)

Identify the incorrect statement.

  1. Sapwood is involved in conduction of water and minerals from root to leaf
  2. Sapwood is the innermost secondary xylem and is lighter in colour
  3. Due to deposition of tannins, resins, oils etc., heart wood is dark in colour
  4. Heart wood does not conduct water but gives mechanical support
