Question

Which among the following is incorrect about tissue system?

(a) Epidermal appendages are outgrowth on epidermis and help in water and mineral absorption and also prevents water loss

(b) All tissues that are neither vascular nor epidermal tissues are called ground tissues and include parenchyma, collenchymas and sclerenchyma

(c) Open vascular bundles are those that have cambium in between xylem and phloem and are present in most of the monocots

(d) In radial vascular bundle, xylem and phloem are arranged on different radii

I had been asked this question in quiz.

My question comes from Flowering Plants Anatomy in chapter Anatomy of Flowering Plants of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) Open vascular bundles are those that have cambium in between xylem and phloem and are present in most of the monocots

The best I can explain: Epidermal appendages are outgrowth on epidermis and help in water and mineral absorption and also prevent water loss. All tissues that are neither vascular nor epidermal tissues are called ground tissues and include parenchyma, collenchymas and sclerenchyma. Closed vascular bundles are those that have cambium in between xylem and phloem and are present in most of the monocots. In radial vascular bundle, xylem and phloem are arranged on different radii.
