Multiple choice botany internal structure of root, stem and leaf internal structure of monocot leaf internal structure of dicot leaf internal structure of leaf (dicot and monocot)

The differentiation of Palisade tissue and spongy parenchyma is found in ______________.

  1. Isobilateral

  2. Dorsiventral leaves

  3. Both

  4. None
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Dorsiventral leaf i.e. Mesophyll is the ground tissue and it occurs between the two epidermal layers. It is heavily composed of chlorenchyma cells. The mesophyll is differentiated into two regions an upper palisade parenchyma and lower spongy parenchyma. Palisade parenchyma is again composed of two or three layers of elongated and compactly arranged chlorenchyma cells.

Also, the isobilateral leaf has undifferentiated mesophyll.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Multiple choice botany internal structure of root, stem and leaf internal structure of monocot leaf internal structure of dicot leaf internal structure of leaf (dicot and monocot)

In dorsiventral leaves

  1. Upper surface is dark green as compared to lower surface

  2. Both the surfaces are equally green

  3. Lower surface is dark green

  4. Both the surfaces are dark green
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Leaves, in which both surfaces are differentiated are called dorsiventral leaves. In these leaves, palisade parenchyma is present towards the upper epidermis and spongy parenchyma is present towards the lower epidermis. Because of this reason, in dorsiventral leaves, the upper side is dark green in colour and lower side is light green in colour.

So, the correct answer is ‘Upper surface is dark green as compared to the lower surface’.

Multiple choice botany internal structure of root, stem and leaf internal structure of monocot leaf internal structure of dicot leaf internal structure of leaf (dicot and monocot)

Spongy parenchyma is arranged in

  1. One layer

  2. Loosely arranged

  3. Compactly arranged

  4. Regularly arranged around large cavities
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The parenchyma with loosely arranged cells, present in the mesophyll of leaves is called spongy parenchyma.

So, the correct option is ‘Loosely arranged’

Multiple choice botany internal structure of root, stem and leaf internal structure of monocot leaf internal structure of dicot leaf internal structure of leaf (dicot and monocot)

Palisade parenchyma is present on both sides in.

  1. Nerium

  2. Eucalyptus

  3. Wheat

  4. Both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In xerophytic leaves, mesophyll is differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma. In these leaves, palisade parenchyma is present on both sides. i.e towards upper epidermis and lower epidermis. In the palisade parenchyma cells are cylindrical in shape contains more number of chloroplasts. In spongy parenchyma, cells are oval in shape, loosely arranged, with less number of chloroplasts. 

eg:Nerium, Eucalyptus.
So, the correct option is 'Both A and B'.

Multiple choice botany internal structure of root, stem and leaf internal structure of monocot leaf internal structure of dicot leaf internal structure of leaf (dicot and monocot)

Mesophyll is differentiated into palisade and spongy tissue in

  1. Some monocot leaves

  2. All dorsiventral leaves

  3. All monocot leaves

  4. All isobilateral leaves
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The region present between the upper and lower epidermis of leaves is called mesophyll. It is differentiated into upper palisade and lower spongy parenchyma in dicot leaves or dorsiventral leaves, whereas in monocot leaves or isobilateral leaves, it is undifferentiated and it shows spongy parenchyma.

So, the correct option is ‘All dorsiventral leaves’.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct botanical matches are: Sal (Shorea robusta), Shisham (Dalbergia sisso), Chir (Pinus roxburghii), and Teak (Tectona grandis). This corresponds to A-4, B-3, C-1, D-2.

Multiple choice botany internal structure of root, stem and leaf internal structure of monocot leaf internal structure of dicot leaf internal structure of leaf (dicot and monocot)

The lower surface of leaf will have more number of stomata in a __________.

  1. Dorsiventral leaf

  2. Isobilateral leaf

  3. Both (a) and (b)

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Transpiration is the evaporative loss of water by plants. It occurs mainly through the stomata in the leaves. Usually the lower surface of a dorsiventral (often dicotyledonous) leaf has a greater number of stomata while in an isobilateral(often monocotyledonous) leaf. There are almost equal number of stomata on both surfaces.

Multiple choice botany internal structure of root, stem and leaf internal structure of monocot leaf internal structure of dicot leaf internal structure of leaf (dicot and monocot)

Dorsiventral leaf has

  1. spongy parenchyma on upper side

  2. spongy parenchyma on both sides

  3. palisade parenchyma on lower side

  4. palisade parenchyma on upper side
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Dorsiventral leaves orient themselves at an angle to the main axis and perpendicular to the direction of sunlight. Most dicots have dorsi-ventral leaves that are net-veined, including most trees, bushes, garden plants and wildflowers. Mesophyll is the ground tissue between the upper and lower epidermis. In dorsiventral leaf, it is differentiated into palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma. Palisade parenchyma lies towards the upper epidermis and consists of one, two or three layers of elongated cells, densely packed with no intercellular spaces and contains chloroplast

So, the correct option is 'palisade parenchyma on upper side'

Multiple choice botany internal structure of root, stem and leaf internal structure of monocot leaf internal structure of dicot leaf internal structure of leaf (dicot and monocot)

Vascular bundles in dicot leaves are

  1. Conjoint, bicollateral, closed

  2. Radia, open

  3. Conjoint, collateral, closed

  4. Conjoint , collateral, open
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In the vascular bundles of dicot leaves, xylem and phloem are present on same radius and also present side by side. So they are called collateral and conjoint. Cambium is absent between xylem and phloem. So, It is called closed vascular bundle.

So, the correct option is 'Conjoint, collateral, closed'.
