Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 5

Bamboo, grass and mint stem elongate by the activity of -

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 5

Bamboo, grass and mint stem elongate by the activity of Intercalary meristems. Intercalary meristem at base of leaves or nodes of grasses is responsible for primary growth. Meristems are classified by their location as apical located at root and shoot tips, lateral in the vascular and cork cambia, and intercalary at internodes, or stem regions between the places at which leaves attach and leaf bases. Intercalary meristem cells possess the ability to divide and produce new cells, as do apical and lateral meristems. They differ, however, in being situated between regions of mature tissue, such as at the base of grass leaves, which are themselves located on mature stem tissue.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Which of the following is a secondary meristem 

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 9

The cork cambium is a lateral meristem and is responsible for secondary growth that replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. It is found in woody and many herbaceous dicots, gymnosperms and some monocots (monocots usually lack secondary growth).

Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 10

In plants, during embryonic condition

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 10

Embryonic tissue in plants refers to the actively growing cells but more than often this term is used to describe the early formation of tissue during its first growth stages. It thus refers to the sporophyte, gametophyte embryos from seedlings as well as meristematic tissues which are always in embryonic state. Under this condition, the growth of this tissues takes place through cell division and the cells of the embryo divide.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 11

The secondary meristem originates from

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 11

On the basis of origin and development, meristem is grouped as promeristem, primary and secondary meristem. Promeristem includes undifferentiated, actively dividing apical initials which are derived from embryonic tissues and give rise to primary meristem. Primary meristem is derived from promeristem or embryonic meristem and produce primary permanent tissues of primary plant body. Secondary meristem develops from permanent tissues during secondary growth and gives rise to secondary tissues. Secretory tissues are the permanent primary tissues, which are derived from promeristem.

Thus, the correct answer is option B

Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 12

The function of root cap is

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 12

The root cap protects the growing tip in plants. It secretes mucilage to ease the movement of the root through soil, and may also be involved in communication with the soil microbiota. The purpose of the root cap is to enable downward growth of the root, with the root cap covering the sensitive tissue in the root.

Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 13

Which among the following is incorrect about Sclerenchyma?

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 13
  • Sclerenchymatous cells are the dead cells responsible for stiffness in plants.
  • The husk of a coconut is made of Sclerenchymatous tissue.
  • They are of two kinds, namely, sclereids and fibers.
  • Simple pits are present in thickened cell walls of sclerenchyma.
Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 14

Which among the following are incorrect about Xylem?

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 14
  • Complex permanent tissues are made of many types of cells and comprises of Xylem and Phloem.
  • Complex permanent tissues are made of many types of cells and comprises of Xylem and Phloem.

Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 15

Meristem present at Lamina margin is :

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 15

Marginal meristem is the meristem located along the margin of a leaf primordium and forming the leaf blade. The apical meristem or growing tip, is a completely undifferentiated meristematic tissue found in the buds and growing tips of roots in plants. 
Intercalary meristems are capable of cell division, and they allow for rapid growth and regrowth of many monocots. Intercalary meristems at the nodes of bamboo allow for rapid stem elongation, while those at the base of most grass leaf blades allow damaged leaves to rapidly regrow. 
In mass meristem the cells divide in all planes to form bulk of tissue. this type of meristem takes part in the formation of cortex, pith, endosperm and sporangia. 
Therefore, the correct answer is option D. 

Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 16

Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 19

Which of the following tissues form the main bulk of storage organ

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 19

Parenchyma cells are living cells. They are at the constant state of division. They have large central vacuoles, which allow the cells to store and regulate ions, waste products and water. These are majorly distributed as ground tissue. Tissue specialised for food storage is commonly formed of parenchyma cells. 
Collenchyma and sclerenchyma involve in mechanical support. 
Aerenchyma involves in gas exchange.
Thus, option A is correct.

Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 20

Cells of parenchymatous tissues are characterised by :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Tissue - 1 - Question 20

Parenchyma is a simple tissue which is composed of thin-walled polyhedral, isodiametric living cells with sufficient cytoplasm and one or more nuclei. These tissues serve the purpose of storage, photosynthesis gaseous exchange and much more but do not provide mechanical support to the plant and hence, lack cell wall thickening or lignin deposition which is a characteristic feature of mechanical tissues. They have cellulosic cell wall without any thickening or lignin deposition. Parenchymatous cells are characterized by the presence of well-developed intercellular spaces, as in the case of aerenchyma.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
