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

Monocot characteristics are

  1. Fibrous root system, parallel-veined leaves, trimerous flowers and two cotyledons

  2. Fibrous root system, parallel-veined leaves, trimerous flowers and one cotyledon

  3. Fibrous root system, reticulate veined leaves, trimerous flowers and one cotyledon

  4. Tap root system, parallel venation, trimerous flowers and one cotyledon
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Monocot plants, as the name suggests have only one cotyledon. these plants have characteristic features like fibrous root system because the radicle is short-lived, thus replaced by adventitious roots. They also have parallel-veined leaves and trimerous flowers.

So the correct answer is 'Fibrous root system, parallel-veined leaves, trimerous flowers, and one cotyledon'.

Oil cavities of Citrus are

  1. Lysigenous

  2. Schizogeneous

  3. Schizolysigneous

  4. Intercellular spaces.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Lysigenous intercellular spaces: These cavities of intercellular spaces store up water, gases and essential oils in them. The examples are commonly found in water plants and many monocotyledonous plants. The secretory cavities in Eucalyptus, Citrus and Gossypium are good examples.

So, the correct answer is 'Lysigenous.'

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

In dicot stem, lateral branch comes out from 

  1. Pericycle

  2. Cortex

  3. Pith

  4. Epidermis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In dicot stem, the lateral branches are exogenous in origin and they come out from the cortex of the stem. However, in dicot root, the lateral roots are endogenous in origin because they come out from the pericycle of the stem.

A. Pericycle gives rise to the lateral roots.
B. Cortex gives rise to the lateral branches in stem.
C. Pith is a storage organ.
D. Epidermis gives rise to scales and trichomes.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Cortex'

In young dicot stem, cambium is

  1. Single layered

  2. Double layered

  3. Multilayered

  4. Absent
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In a young dicot stem, the cambium is single layered. It is made by the intrafascicular cambium present within the vascular bundles and the dedifferentiation of the parenchyma cells of the medullary rays between the vascular bundles, called interfascicular cambium. Their combination gives a circular cambium that produces xylem elements on the inner side and the phloem elements on the outer side.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Single layered'

In dicot stem, cork cambium develops in 

  1. Epidermal region

  2. Cortical region

  3. Stelar region

  4. Vascular region
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Cork cambium is secondary or lateral meristematic tissue that grows beneath the epidermis and replaces it in dicot roots and stems and is responsible for the secondary growth of the tree.

So the correct option is 'Epidermal layer'

The nature of pericycle above the phloem in dicot stem is 

  1. Parenchymatous

  2. Sclerenchymatous

  3. Collecnchymatous

  4. Chlorenchymatous
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The pericycle is a thin layer located between the endodermis and phloem in plant roots. In dicot stems, it is located around the ring of vascular bundles in the stele. The nature of pericycle is sclrenchymatous. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Sclerenchymatous.'

Ploem fibre (Bast fibre) are generally absent in 

  1. Dicot

  2. Primary Phloem

  3. Secondary Phleom

  4. Both (2) and (3)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Bast fibers are made up of sclerenchymatous cells and are absent in primary phloem but present in secondary phloem of dicots and are elongated , unbranched and have pointed needle like apices and are devoid pf protoplasm at maturity and dead.

So the correct option is 'Primary Phloem'.

Which of the following statement is incorrect?

  1. In a dicot stem, the pericycle is usually multilayered

  2. Wood is the common name used for secondary xylem

  3. Peripheral cytoplasm, a large vacuole and a prominent nucleus: all are absent in a mature sleve tube elements

  4. Lenticels are the aerating pores present in bark of plants and are associated with gaseous exchange
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • Pericycle is a cylinder of parenchymal and sclerenchyma cells which lie just below the endodermis of the plants. 
  • In dicot stem, the pericycle is heterogenous made of parenchyma and sclerenchyma alternatively in irregular patches but they are not multilayered.
  • So, the correct answer is 'In a dicot stem, the pericycle is usually multilayered'.
