Question

True or False?

1. Most of the growth and cell division in an angiosperm’s root takes place in apical meristem.

2. monocots, the pith is located on outside of the root and the vascular tissue is located the center of the root.

3. A gymnosperm is also known as a monocot.

4.The rate of transpiration in the plant is not regulated by the stomata.

5.The walls of the phloem are hydrophilic

Answer 1

Ans. 1. The given statement is correct or true statement.

Explanation:- In root, most of the growth and development takes place in the root apical meristem. In this region, the cell have the propery to divide.

Ans.2. The given statement is false.

Explanation:- In monocot root, the vascular bundles are scattered in the ground tissue. They are not in the centre. In the centre pith is present. The cells of the pith stores starch.

Ans.3. The given statement is false.

Explanation:- Gymnosperms are not monocot. This classification applies to the angiosperms.

Ans.4. The given statement is false.

Explanation:- The rate of transpiration is regulated by the stomata. Stomata are the special cell which are involved in the transpiration process and gas exchange. They regulates the transpiration by closing and opening of the guard cells.

Ans 5. The given statement is true.

Explanation:- The walls of the phloem are hydrophillic. So the transport of the dissolved solutes is mediated by them.
