Question

Match the plant structure in Column-I with the process occurring in it from Column-II and select the correct option.
Column-I Column-II
(i) Stomata (a) Absorption
(ii) Hydathode (b) Transpiration
(iii) Root hair (c) Guttation
(iv) Tracheary elements (d) Translocation

• A. (i)-b, (ii)-d, (iii)-a, (iv)-c
• B. (i)-a, (ii)-c, (iii)-d, (iv)-b
• C. (i)-b, (ii)-c, (iii)-a, (iv)-d
• D. (i)-b, (ii)-c, (iii)-d, (iv)-a

Hint:

Hydathodes are associated with guttation, not transpiration.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Identifying functions of structures.
Different plant structures are specialized for specific physiological processes such as transpiration, absorption, guttation, and translocation.
Step 2: Matching each structure correctly.
Stomata: Involved in transpiration, so (i)-b.
Hydathode: Responsible for guttation, so (ii)-c.
Root hair: Main site of absorption of water and minerals, so (iii)-a.
Tracheary elements: Involved in conduction and translocation of water, so (iv)-d.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct matching is (i)-b, (ii)-c, (iii)-a, (iv)-d, which corresponds to option (C).
