Question

Match the following: \includegraphics[width=0.5\linewidth]{1image.png} The correct answer is

• A. I-C, II-A, III-D, IV-B
• B. I-C, II-A, III-B, IV-D
• C. I-D, II-C, III-B, IV-A
• D. I-A, II-D, III-B, IV-C \

Hint:

Lenticels facilitate the exchange of gases, while the cork cambium produces cork and phelloderm. The secondary cortex forms the phelloderm, and the cork is produced by the activity of the cork cambium.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

\begin{itemize} \item I - Lenticels: Lenticels facilitate gaseous exchange in plants. Therefore, the correct match is I-C (Exchange of gases). \item II - Cork cambium: Cork cambium generates suberised cells, which form the cork. Thus, the correct match is II-B (Suberised cells). \item III - Secondary cortex: The secondary cortex is responsible for producing the phelloderm. Hence, the correct match is III-D (Phelloderm). \item IV - Cork: Cork is produced by the activity of the cork cambium, making the correct match IV-A (Phellogen). \end{itemize}
