Questions and Answers

What is the role of cambium in dicotyledonous stems?

  • It transports water and nutrients between phloem and xylem
  • It helps in the production of secondary xylem and phloem tissues (correct)
  • It provides structural support to the vascular bundles
  • It aids in photosynthesis in the plant

    • Why are vascular bundles in monocotyledons referred to as closed?

  • Because they lack a cambium layer for secondary tissue formation (correct)
  • Due to the absence of xylem and phloem
  • To prevent the loss of water through transpiration
  • To protect the plant from external pathogens

    • In which type of vascular bundle are xylem and phloem arranged in an alternate manner?

  • Divergent vascular bundles
  • Closed vascular bundles
  • Conjoint vascular bundles
  • Radial vascular bundles (correct)

    • What distinguishes conjoint vascular bundles from radial vascular bundles?
