Sample questions from this chapter
A botanist classifies tissues by structure and location in the plant body. Which three systems result?
- Epidermal, ground and vascular ✓
- Apical, lateral and intercalary
- Parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma
- Root, stem and leaf
Answer: A. The primary plant body is organised into epidermal covering, ground tissue and vascular conducting systems. Meristem and simple-tissue classifications use different criteria.
Why not B: These are positions or types of meristems, not the three location-based tissue systems.
Why not C: These simple tissues contribute largely to ground tissue but do not include epidermal and conducting systems.
Why not D: These are plant organs whose tissues are being organised, not tissue-system categories.
A stem section contains numerous vascular bundles scattered through undifferentiated ground tissue, each enclosed by sclerenchymatous bundle sheath. What is the identification?
- Dicot root
- Dicot stem
- Monocot stem ✓
- Monocot root
Answer: C. Scattered conjoint closed bundles in conspicuous parenchymatous ground tissue identify a monocot stem. The surrounding sclerenchymatous sheath strengthens the diagnosis.
Why not A: A dicot root shows radial xylem and phloem with an endodermis around the stele.
Why not B: A dicot stem has bundles in a ring and distinguishable cortex, medullary rays and pith.
Why not D: A monocot root has radial polyarch vascular patches rather than scattered conjoint bundles.
An unknown section has a single epidermis with trichomes, collenchymatous hypodermis, a starch sheath, semilunar sclerenchyma above phloem and endarch open bundles. What is the most defensible identification?
- Young dicot stem ✓
- Monocot stem
- Dicot root
- Dorsiventral leaf
Answer: A. Every clue converges on dicot stem anatomy: layered cortex, starch-sheath endodermis, pericyclic sclerenchyma and ringed open endarch bundles. Identification is stronger when several tissue systems agree.
Why not B: Monocot stems instead have sclerenchymatous hypodermis, scattered closed bundles and undifferentiated ground tissue.
Why not C: Dicot roots show epiblema with root hairs, radial vascular patches and exarch xylem.
Why not D: A leaf section has two epidermal surfaces and mesophyll rather than cortex, pericycle and pith.
