Vascular tissues in flowering plants develop from

(1) phellogen

Passage cells are thin-walled cells found in:

1. endodermis of roots facilitating rapid transport of water from cortex to pericycle

2. phloem elements that serve as entry points for substances for transport to other plant

parts

3. testa of seeds to enable emergence of growing embryonic axis during seed

germination

4. central region of style through which the pollen tube grows towards the ovary

If the stoma remains surrounded by a limited number of cells which cannot be

distinguished from other epidermal cells, then this type of stomata is known as.

In the given diagram of section of root of maize, different parts have been indicated by

alphabets. Choose the answer in which these alphabets have been correctly matched

with the parts which they indicate.

1. A = Phloem, B = Xylem, C = Cortex, D = Endodermis, E = Pith, F = Root hair, G =

Epidermis

2. A = Pith, B = Root hair, C = Epiblema, D = Cortex, E = Endodermis, F = Phloem, G

= Xylem

3. A = Root hair, B = Epiblema, C = Cortex, D = Endodermis, E = Pith, F = Xylem, G

= Phloem

4. A = Epiblema, B = Root hair, C = Vascular bundle, D = Cortex, E = Phloem, F =

Xylem, G = Pith
