Read the different components from I to IV in the list given below and tell the correct order of the components with reference to their arrangement from the outer side to the inner side in a woody dicot stem.
| I. | Secondary Cortex | 
| II. | Wood | 
| III. | Secondary phloem | 
| IV. | Phellem | 
The correct order is:
| 1. | III, IV, II, I | 2. | I, II, IV, III | 
| 3. | IV, I, III, II | 4. | IV, III, I, II | 
Vascular bundles in monocotyledons are considered closed because:
| 1. | a bundle sheath surrounds each bundle | 
| 2. | cambium is absent | 
| 3. | there are no vessels with perforations | 
| 4. | xylem is surrounded all around by phloem | 
A major characteristic of the monocot root is the presence of:
| 1. | Scattered vascular bundles | 
| 2. | Vasculature without cambium | 
| 3. | Cambium sandwiched between phloem and xylem along the radius | 
| 4. | Open vascular bundles | 
You are given a fairly old piece of dicot stem and a dicot root. Which of the following anatomical structures will you use to distinguish between the two?
| 1. | Secondary xylem | 2. | Secondary phloem | 
| 3. | Protoxylem | 4. | Cortical cells | 
Tracheids differ from the tracheary elements in:
| 1. | Having casparian strips | 
| 2. | Being imperforate | 
| 3. | Lacking nucleus | 
| 4. | Being lignified | 
Lenticels are involved in:
| 1. | Gaseous exchange | 2. | Food transfer | 
| 3. | Photosynthesis | 4. | Transpiration | 
| 1. | Guard cells invariably possess chloroplasts and mitochondria | 
| 2. | Guard cells are always surrounded by subsidiary cells | 
| 3. | Stomata are involved in gaseous exchange | 
| 4. | Inner walls of guard cells are thick | 
The common bottle cork is a product of:
1. dermatogen
2. phellogen
3. xylem
4. vascular cambium
Companion cells are closely associated with:
| 1. | Sieve elements | 2. | Vessel elements | 
| 3. | Trichomes | 4. | Guard cells | 
Closed vascular bundles lack:
1. Ground tissue
2. Conjuctive tissue
3. Cambium
4. Pith
