Which among the following is incorrect about different parts of the leaf?
Which type of venation is characteristic of most monocotyledonous plants?
Consider the following statements about the stem as described in the given text:
1. The stem develops from the plumule of the embryo of a germinating seed.
2. The region of the stem where leaves are borne are called nodes, and the regions between two nodes are called internodes.
3. Stems always remain green throughout their life to perform photosynthesis efficiently.
4. Buds on the stem may be terminal or axillary in position.
5. The stem conducts water, minerals, and photosynthates, and may also store food or perform vegetative propagation.
Which of the above statements are correct?
Consider the following statements regarding leaf venation and phyllotaxy:
1. The arrangement of veins and veinlets in the lamina is termed venation.
2. Reticulate venation, where veinlets form a network, is characteristic of most monocotyledonous plants.
3. Parallel venation, where veins run parallel to each other within the lamina, is characteristic of most monocotyledonous plants.
4. In alternate type of phyllotaxy, a single leaf arises at each node in alternate manner as in mustard and china rose.
5. In whorled phyllotaxy, more than two leaves arise at a node forming a whorl, as in Alstonia.
Which of the above statements are correct?
Consider the following statements regarding the root system:
1. In dicotyledonous plants, the direct elongation of the radicle forms the primary root which gives rise to lateral roots.
2. In monocotyledonous plants, the primary root is long-lived and forms the tap root system.
3. Fibrous root systems arise from the base of the stem and are common in monocots like wheat.
4. Adventitious roots arise only from the radicle of the seed.
5. Roots also play a role in storing reserve food and synthesizing plant growth regulators.
Which of the above statements are correct?
Consider the following statements about the regions of the root:
1. The root cap protects the tender apex of the root during soil penetration.
2. The region of meristematic activity lies just above the root cap and consists of rapidly dividing cells.
3.. The region of elongation lies distal to the root cap and is responsible for root lengthening.
4. The region of maturation bears root hairs that absorb water and minerals.
5. Root hairs arise from the cortex and endodermis of the root.
Which of the above statements are correct?
Assertion (A): The stem bears nodes and internodes, while leaves arise from the nodes.
Reason (R): Nodes and internodes are the characteristic features that distinguish the stem from the root.
