2. Answer the following questions
Question (A)
A fresh section was taken by a student but he was very disappointed because there were only few green and most colourless cells. Teacher provided a pink colour solution. The section was immersed in this solution and when observed it was much clearer. What is the magic?
Answer:
1. The pink coloured solution given by teacher must be a saffanin stain.
2. Saffanin is used to stain plant tissues, especially lignified tissues such as cell wall and xylem.
Question (B)
While observing a section, many scattered vascular bundles could be seen. Teacher said, in spite of this large number the stem cannot grow in girth. Why?
Answer:
Question (C)
A section of the stem had vascular bundles, where one tissue was wrapped around the other. How will you technically describe it?
Answer:
Concentric vascular bundle:
a. When one vascular tissue is completely encircling the other, it is called as concentric vascular bundle.
b. When phloem is encircled by xylem, it is called as leptocentric vascular bundle, whereas when xylem is encircled by phloem, it is called as hadrocentric vascular bundle.
c. When xylem is encircled by phloem on both faces, it is called as amphicribral vascular bundle. When phloem is encircled by xylem on both faces it is called as amphivasal vascular bundle.
Question (D)
There were two cut logs of wood lying in the campus. One had growth rings and other didn’t. Teacher said it is due to differences in their pattern of grow th which is dependent on season. How?
Answer:
1. It is possible that one of the cut logs was of a tropical tree, whereas the other was of a temperate tree. Since tropical trees grow in a similar manner all year, growth rings are not apparent. Another explanation for this could be that the log which had growth rings must be of an old tree which has experience many seasons, whereas the log without growth rings must be of younger tree, that has not been subjected to seasonal changes and hence not developed prominent growth rings.
2. Growth rings are formed due cambial activity during favourable and non-favourable climatic conditions.
3. During favourable conditions, spring wood (early wood) is formed which has broader xylem bands, lighter colour, tracheids with thin wall and wide lumen, fibres are less in number, low density. Whereas, during unfavourable conditions, autumn wood (late wood) is formed which has narrow xylem band, darker in colour, lumen is narrow and walls are thick with abundant fibres, high density.
4. Spring wood and autumn wood that appear as alternate light and dark concentric rings, constitute an annual ring or growth ring.
5. These growth rings can be used to estimate the age of the tree. These are found more in older trees as compare to younger tree.
Question (E)
While on the trip to Kashmir, Pintoo observed that cut portions of large trees show distinct rings, which he never found in Maharashtra. Why is so?
Answer:
1. Cut portions of large tress show distinct rings which are annual rings formed due to activity of cambium during favourable and non-favourable climatic conditions.
2. Kashmir falls under temperate region where the climatic conditions are not uniform through the year. In the spring season, conditions are favourable due to which cambium is active, whereas in autumn season, conditions are unfavourable due to which cambium is less active. This leads to formation of spring wood and autumn wood that appear as alternate light and dark concentric rings, constitute an annual ring or growth ring.
3. Maharashtra falls under tropical region where climatic conditions are favourable throughout the year. In tropical areas, continuous growth of secondary xylem occurs. Thus, trees growing in tropical regions show less or no annual rings as compared to trees in temperate region.
Question (F)
A student was observing a slide with no label under microscope. The section had some vascular bundles scattered in the ground tissue. It is section of a monocot stem! He exclaimed. No! it is section of fern rachis, said the teacher. Teacher told to observe vascular bundle again. Student agreed, Why?
Answer:
Question (G)
Student found a wooden stopper in lab. He was told by an old lab attendant that it is there for many years. He kept thinking how it did not rot?
Answer:
1. Wooden stopper or cork is obtained from the phellem (cork) part of a bark.
2. Phellem (cork) is impervious in nature and does not allow entry of water due to suberized walls.
3. Due to this it does not rot and remains as it is for many years.
Question (H)
Student while observing a slide of leaf section observed many stomata on the upper surface. He thought he has placed slide upside down. Teacher confirmed it is rightly placed. Explain.
Answer:
1. In a dicot leaf, stomata are generally absent on upper epidermis but are present on lower epidermis. Thus, the student must have thought that he has placed slide upside down.
2. According to teacher, the section was placed rightly, thus the given section must be of monocot leaf.
3. It is because, in monocot leaf stomata are present on both upper and lower epidermis.
3. Write short notes on the following points.
Question (A)
Structure of stomata.
Answer:
Question (B)
Write a short note on secondary growth.
OR

5. Draw neat labelled diagrams
Question (A)
T.S. of dicot leaf.
Answer:
1. Structure of dorsiventral leaf: The mesophyll tissue is differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma in a dorsiventral leaf. This type is very common in dicot leaf. The different parts of this leaf are as follows:
2. Upper epidermis: It consists of a single layer of tightly packed rectangular, barrel shaped, parenchymatous cells which are devoid of chloroplast. A distinct layer of cuticle lies on the outside of the epidermis. Stomata are generally absent.
3. Mesophyll: Between upper and lower epidermis, there is chloroplast-containing photosynthetic tissue called mesophyll It is differentiated into Palisade parenchyma and Spongy parenchyma.
a. Palisade parenchyma:
Palisade parenchyma is present below upper epidermis and consists of closely packed elongated cells. The cells contain abundant chloroplasts and help in photosynthesis.
b. Spongy parenchyma:
Spongy parenchyma is present below palisade tissue and consists of loosely arranged irregularly shaped cells with intercellular spaces. The spongy parenchyma cells contain chloroplast and are in contact with the atmosphere through stomata.
4. Vascular system: It is made up of a number of vascular bundles of varying size depending upon the venation. Each one is surrounded by a thin layer of parenchymatous cells called bundle sheath. Vascular bundles are closed. Xylem lies towards upper epidermis and phloem towards lower epidermis. Cambium is absent, hence there is no secondary growth in the leaf.
5. Lower epidermis: It consists of a single layer of compactly arranged rectangular, parenchymatous cells. A thin layer of cuticle is also present. The lower epidermis contains a large number of microscopic pores called stomata. There is an air-space called substomatal chamber at each stoma.
Question (B)
T.S. of Monocot root.
Answer:
Question (C)
Draw neat labelled diagrams of T.S. of dicot stem.
Answer:
Question 6.
Write the information related to diagram given below.
Answer:
[Note: The labelled part can be considered as the ‘region of maturation ’ of root apical however, the region of maturation does not contain meristematic tissue ]
Classification of meristematic tissue based on its position:
1. Apical meristem:
a. It is produced from promeristem and forms growing point of apices of root, shoot and their lateral branches.
b. It brings about increase in length of plant body and is called as apical initials.
c. Shoot apical meristem is terminal in position whereas in root it is subterminal i.e. located behind the root cap.
2. Intercalary meristem:
a. Intercalary meristematic tissue is present in the top or base area of node.
b. Their activity is mainly seen in monocots.
c. These are short lived.
3. Lateral meristem:
a. It is present along the sides of central axis of organs.
b. It takes part in increasing girth of stem or root, e.g. Intrafascicular cambium.
c. It is found in vascular bundles of gymnosperms and dicot angiosperms.
Question 7.
Identify the following diagrams, label it and prepare a chart of characteristics.
Answer:
1. Figure ‘c’
Question 8.
Distinguish between dicot and monocot leaf on the basis of following characters.
Answer:
| Characters | Dicot leaf | Monocot leaf |
| Stomata | Stomata are restricted to lower epidermis. Guard cells of stoma are kidney shaped. | Stomata occur on both epidermis. Guard cells of stoma are dumbbell shaped. |
| Intercellular space | More intercellular spaces due to presence of spongy parenchyma. | Less intercellular spaces as mesophyll is not differentiated into spongy and palisade tissue. |
| Venation | Reticulate venation | Parallel venation |
| Vascular bundle | Vascular bundles of varying size. The size of the vascular bundles is dependent on the size of the veins which vary in thickness in dicot leaf. | Vascular bundles are nearly of similar size (Except in main veins). |
| Mesophyll cells | Mesophyll tissue is differentiated into palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma. | Mesophyll tissue is not differentiated into palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma. |
Practical/ Project:
Question 1.
Prepare detail anatomical charts with diagrammatic representation of dicot and monocot plants.
Answer:
Anatomy of dicot root: The transverse section of a typical dicotyledonous root shows following anatomical features:
1. Epiblema: It is the outermost single layer of cells without cuticle. Some epidermal cells prolong to form unicellular root hairs.
2. Cortex: It is made up of many layers of thin walled parenchyma cells. Cortical cells store food and water.
3. Exodermis: After the death of epiblema, outer layer of cortex become cutinized and is called Exodermis.
4. Endodermis:
The innermost layer of cortex is called Endodermis.
The cells are barrel-shaped and their radial walls bear Casparian strip or Casparian bands composed of suberin. Near the protoxylem, there are unthickened passage cells.
5. Stele: It consists of pericycle, vascular bundles and pith.
a. Pericycle: Next to the endodermis, there is a single layer of thin walled parenchyma cells called pericycle. It forms outermost layer of stele or vascular cylinder.
b. Vascular bundle: Vascular bundles are radial. Xylem and Phloem occur in separate patches arranged on alternate radii. Xylem is exarch in root that means protoxylem vessels are towards periphery and metaxylem elements are towards centre. Xylem bundles vary from two to six number, i.e. they may be diarch, triarch, tetrarch, etc.
Connective tissue: A parenchymatous tissue is present in between xylem and phloem.
c. Pith: The central part of stele is called pith. It is narrow and made up of parenchymatous cells, with or without intercellular spaces.
6. At a later stage cambium ring develops between the xylem and phloem causing secondary growth.
Anatomy of monocot stem: A transverse section of maize (monocot) stem shows the following structures:

Why vascular bundles of dicot stem are described as conjoint collateral and open?
Answer:
Vascular bundles of dicot stem are described as conjoint collateral and open because;
1. In dicot stem, the complex tissue is collectively present as neighbours of each other on the same radius in the form of xylem inside and phloem outside. Such type of vascular bundles are called as conjoint and collateral.
2. In dicot stem, a strip of cambium is present between xylem and phloem. Hence, it is called as open vascular bundle.
Can you tell? (Textbook Page No. 92)
How is the arrangement of vascular bundles in dicot and monocot stem?
Answer:
1. Vascular bundle in dicot stem: Vascular bundles are conjoint, collateral, open, and are arranged in a ring. Each one is composed of xylem, phloem and cambium. Xylem is endarch. A strip of cambium is present between xylem and phloem.
2. Vascular bundle in monocot stem: Vascular bundles are numerous and are scattered in ground tissue. Each vascular bundle is surrounded by a sclerenchymatous bundle sheath. Vascular bundles are conjoint, collateral and cloused (without cambium). Xylem is endarch and shows lysigenous cavity.
