Vascular tissue system

Fill in the blank: The outermost layer of the primary plant body is called ______.

Epidermis

True or False: Monocotyledonous roots typically have 2-4 xylem bundles.

False. Monocot roots usually have more than six xylem bundles.

Riddle: I help in water absorption from the soil with my tiny extensions. What am I?

Root hairs

In dicotyledonous stems, the vascular bundles are arranged in a ring. This arrangement is referred to as ______.

Conjoint open vascular bundles

Fill in the blank: The innermost layer of the cortex in a dicot root is known as the ______.

Endodermis

Which type of meristematic tissue is responsible for increasing the girth of the plant?

Riddle: I am a type of plant tissue that provides mechanical support and is usually dead at maturity. What am I?

Sclerenchyma

True or False: Epidermal hairs in plants are always multicellular.

False. Root hairs are unicellular.

Which type of vascular bundle arrangement consists of xylem and phloem situated at different radii?

Radial vascular bundle

Riddle: I’m the layer that prevents water loss, but I’m not found in roots. What am I?

Cuticle

What is the role of guard cells in relation to stomata?

Regulating the opening and closing of stomatal pores

Fill in the blank: The ground tissue in leaves is known as ______.

Mesophyll

True or False: Parenchyma cells are specialized for mechanical support primarily in the roots.

False. Parenchyma cells primarily store food and maintain turgidity.

What distinguishes monocot leaves from dicot leaves in terms of stomatal distribution?

Stomata are present on both sides of monocot leaves.

Riddle: I’m the tissue system that includes tracheids and vessels, helping in the upward movement of water. What am I?

Pericycle

True or False: The sclerenchyma tissue is generally alive at maturity.

False. Sclerenchyma tissue is typically dead at maturity.

What type of cells are found in the conjunctive tissue between xylem and phloem in roots?

Parenchymatous cells

Riddle: I am a layer of cells that absorbs water and minerals from the soil, often found at the root tips. What am I?

Epiblema

What is the main structural feature of the xylem that aids in its function?

Lignified walls

Fill in the blank: The vascular bundles in monocot stems are described as ______.

Scattered

True or False: The mesophyll in monocot leaves is differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma.
