NEET Questions / Botany / Anatomy of Flowering Plants / Tissue System
Which of the following statements regarding the casparian strip is INCORRECT?
It is a band of hydrophobic material that surrounds the radial and transverse walls of endodermal cells.
It forces water and solutes to enter the symplast, regulating their passage into the stele.
It is composed primarily of lignin and suberin, providing structural support to the endodermis.
Its presence in the root endodermis helps prevent the apoplastic movement of water and minerals.
A unique characteristic of lateral meristems is their ability to:
Contribute to the elongation of the plant axis
Increase the girth of the plant
Give rise to the primary plant body
Differentiate into the root cap
Which tissue system is primarily responsible for providing mechanical strength and flexibility to plants, enabling them to withstand various environmental stresses like wind and bending?
Parenchyma
Collenchyma
Sclerenchyma
Xylem
The periderm, a complex tissue that replaces the epidermis in older stems and roots of woody plants, comprises which of the following tissues?
Phellem, phellogen, and phelloderm
Epidermis, cortex, and endodermis
Xylem, phloem, and vascular cambium
Parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma
Specialized parenchyma cells containing chloroplasts and found in the mesophyll of leaves are known as:
Aerenchyma
Chlorenchyma
Sclerenchyma
Collenchyma
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of complex permanent tissues?
Made up of more than one type of cell
Involved in transport of water and nutrients
Composed of only one type of cell
Examples include xylem and phloem
Which tissue system is primarily responsible for providing mechanical strength and support to the plant body?
Vascular tissue system
Ground tissue system
Dermal tissue system
Meristematic tissue system
Collenchyma cells provide flexible support to young growing parts of the plant. Which feature contributes to this flexibility?
Lignified cell walls
Evenly thickened cell walls
Unevenly thickened cell walls
Presence of intercellular spaces
Which tissue system is responsible for the transport of water and minerals in plants?
Phloem
Xylem
Parenchyma
Sclerenchyma
The complex tissue responsible for transporting organic nutrients from source to sink in plants is:
Xylem
Phloem
Collenchyma
Sclerenchyma
