Tissue Organisation in Plant Organs — NEET Biology
🔥 Predicted for NEET 2027For a better understanding of tissue organisation of roots, stems and leaves, it is convenient to study the transverse sections of the mature zones of these organs.
Adjacent to a frequently-asked paragraph in the same chapter.
Consider the following statements regarding plant tissue systems: 1. All tissues except epidermis and vascular bundles constitute the ground tissue system. 2. Parenchymatous cells of ground tissue are found in cortex, pericycle, pith, and medullary rays. 3. In leaves, the ground tissue is called mesophyll and consists of chloroplast-containing thin-walled cells. 4. Vascular bundles with cambium present (as in dicot stems) are closed and cannot form secondary tissues. 5. In roots, the vascular bundle arrangement is radial, while in stems and leaves it is commonly conjoint. Which of the above statements are correct?
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: D — 1, 2, 3 and 5 only
Statement 1 Correct – NCERT says “All tissues except epidermis and vascular bundles constitute the ground tissue.” Statement 2 Correct – parenchymatous cells are indeed present in cortex, pericycle, pith, and medullary rays. Statement 3 Correct – in leaves, ground tissue is called mesophyll with chloroplasts. Statement 4 Incorrect – vascular bundles with cambium are open (not closed) and can form secondary tissues. Statement 5 Correct – radial bundles occur in roots; conjoint bundles occur in stems and leaves.
