CASE STUDY #1
Epidermal cells are parenchymatous with a small amount of cytoplasm lining

the cell wall and a large vacuole. The outside of the epidermis is often covered
with a waxy thick layer called the cuticle which prevents the loss of water.
Cuticle is absent in roots. Stomata are structures present in the epidermis of
leaves. Stomata regulate the process of transpiration and gaseous exchange.
Each stoma is composed of two bean shaped cells known as guard cells which
enclose stomatal pore. In grasses, the guard cells are dumb-bell shaped. The
outer walls of guard cells are thin and the inner walls are highly thickened. The
guard cells possess chloroplasts and regulate the opening and closing of
stomata. Sometimes, a few epidermal cells, in the vicinity of the guard cells
become specialised in their shape and size and are known as subsidiary cells.
The stomatal aperture, guard cells and the surrounding subsidiary cells are
together called stomatal apparatus.
The cells of epidermis bear a number of hairs. The root hairs are unicellular
elongations of the epidermal cells and help absorb water and minerals from the
soil. On the stem the epidermal hairs are called trichomes. The trichomes in the
shoot system are usually multicellular. They may be branched or unbranched
and soft or stiff. They may even be secretory. The trichomes help in preventing
water loss due to transpiration.
1.) Which of the following cell regulates the opening and closing of guard
cell.
a.) Epidermal cell
b.) Guard cell

c.) Subsidiary cell
d.) Trichomes
2.) Which of the following components are known as epidermal

appendages.
a.) Trichomes
b.) Hairs
c.) Trichomes & Hairs

d.) Stomata
3.) Define cuticles and give its function.
4.) What is trichomes?

5.) Write short note on stomata?
ANSWERS
1) (a) Xylem
2)(d) higher number of xylary elements
3)(a) open vascular bundles
4) (c) Pericycle
5) (a) Apical meristems and intercalary meristems
6) a.) Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is the correct
7) d.) If both assertion and reason are false.
8) (d) Lateral meristem

9) (b) Girth
10)a.) phellogen
SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTION
Ans11. The girth of most dicotyledonous plants increases which is referred to as
secondary growth. The two lateral meristems, vascular cambium and cork
cambium, are engaged in secondary growth.
Ans12. Conjunctive tissue is made up of parenchymatous cells that reside
between the xylem and the phloem.
Ans13. Heartwood mainly provides mechanical support to the plants whereas

sapwood is involved in conduction of water
Ans14. Lenticels are parenchymatous cells that rupture the epidermis in the
phellogen, generating lens-shaped pore. Lenticels allow gases to be exchanged
with the atmosphere and the stem’s internal tissue.
Ans15. Protophloem is the first created primary phloem, which has tiny sieve
tubes, and meta phloem is the second formed primary phloem, which has larger
sieve tubes.
Ans16. Epidermal cells, stomata, and epidermal appendages like as trichomes
and hairs make up the epidermal tissue system, which covers the entire plant
body.
Ans17. The epidermis of leaves has pores or openings called stomata. The
process of transpiration and gas exchange is regulated by stomata.
Ans18. The stele is made up of all tissues on the inner side of the endodermis,
such as the pericycle, vascular bundles, and pith.
LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS
Ans. 19.) A tissue is a collection of cells that possess a same origin and
typically execute the same function. Different types of tissues make up a plant.
Tissues are divided into two categories: meristematic and permanent tissues,
based on whether the cells forming them are capable of dividing.
Ans. 20.) Spring wood, also known as early wood, is formed during this season.
Cambium is particularly active in the spring season, producing a significant
number of xylem components possessing wide vessels. Spring wood has low
density and light color. Autumn wood or late wood is formed when the
cambium is less active in the winter and produces fewer xylem elements with
thin and narrow vessels.
Ans21. The following characteristics can be used to distinguish if it is a
monocot, or a dicot Roots:
Ans.22
1) Monocotyledonous leaves are also called isobilateral leaves.
2.) The epidermis has stomata on both surfaces, and the mesophyll does not
divide into palisade and spongy parenchyma.
3.) Certain adaxial epidermal cells along veins in grasses transform into huge,
empty, colorless cells known as Bulliform cells.
4.) The leaf surface is exposed when the bulliform cells in the leaves have
absorbed water and are turgid.
5.) They curl the leaves inwards to reduce water loss when they are flaccid due
to water stress.
6.) Monocot leaves have parallel venation which is represented in the near
comparable diameters of vascular bundles (except in major veins).
Answer key For Case Study
1.) b
2.) c
3.) Cuticle – The outside of the epidermis is often covered with a waxy thick
layer called the cuticle.
Function of cuticle –prevents the loss of water.
4.) The cells of epidermis bear several hairs. Epidermal hairs present on the
stem are called as trichomes.
5.) Stomata are structures present in the epidermis of leaves. Stomata regulate
the process of transpiration and gaseous exchange. Each stoma is composed of
two bean shaped cells known as guard cells which enclose stomatal pore. In
grasses, the guard cells are dumbbell shaped. The outer walls of guard cells are
thin, and the inner walls are highly thickened. The guard cells possess
chloroplasts and regulate the opening and closing of stomata. Sometimes, a few
epidermal cells, in the vicinity of the guard cells become specialized in their
shape and size and are known as subsidiary cells. The stomatal aperture, guard
cells and the surrounding subsidiary cells are together called stomatal apparatus.
