Sample NEET PYQs — Anatomy of Flowering Plants

NEET 2016 — Q1

Specialized epidermal cells surrounding the guard cells are called:

  1. A. Complementary cells
  2. B. Subsidiary cells
  3. C. Bulliform cells
  4. D. Lenticels

Explanation: Answer: (B) Subsidiary cells. Solution: A few epidermal cells in the vicinity of the guard cells become specialised in shape and size; these are the subsidiary cells. Together with the guard cells and the stomatal aperture they form the stomatal apparatus. Complementary cells loosely fill a lenticel, bulliform cells are large empty cells of grass leaves, and lenticels are openings in the bark for gaseous exchange. NCERT Reference: NCERT Class XI, Ch 6 Anatomy of Flowering Plants, p.72, line ~30: "a few epidermal cells, in the vicinity of the guard cells become specialised in their shape and size and are known as subsidiary cells."

NEET 2016 — Q2

Cortex is the region found between

  1. A. Epidermis and stele
  2. B. Pericycle and endodermis
  3. C. Endodermis and pith
  4. D. Endodermis and vascular bundle

Explanation: Answer: (A) Epidermis and stele. Solution: The cortex is the multi-layered ground-tissue zone lying between the outer epidermis (epiblema) and the stele. Its innermost layer is the endodermis, and all tissues internal to the endodermis (pericycle, vascular bundles and pith) constitute the stele. Thus the cortex is the region between the epidermis and the stele. NCERT Reference: NCERT Class XI, Ch 6 Anatomy of Flowering Plants, p.74, line ~22: "All tissues on the innerside of the endodermis such as pericycle, vascular bundles and pith constitute the stele" (cortex being the layers between epidermis and this stele).

NEET 2017 — Q3

Root hairs develop from the region of

  1. A. Maturation
  2. B. Elongation
  3. C. Root cap
  4. D. Meristematic activity

Explanation: Answer: (A) Maturation. Solution: Root hairs are unicellular elongations of the epidermal (epiblema) cells and arise in the region/zone of maturation, where cells have differentiated. The meristematic and elongation zones lie below this and the root cap protects the tip, so none of them bear root hairs. NCERT Reference: NCERT Class XI, Ch 6 Anatomy of Flowering Plants, p.72, line ~3: "The root hairs are unicellular elongations of the epidermal cells and help absorb water and minerals from the soil."

NEET 2017 — Q4

Which of the following facilitates opening of stomatal aperture?

  1. A. Contraction of outer wall of guard cells
  2. B. Decrease in turgidity of guard cells
  3. C. Radial orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall of guard cells
  4. D. Longitudinal orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall of guard cells

Explanation: Answer: (C) Radial orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall of guard cells. Solution: The inner wall of the guard cell (towards the pore) is thick and the outer wall is thin; the cellulose microfibrils are arranged radially rather than longitudinally. When the guard cells become turgid, this radial orientation makes the thin outer wall bulge outward and pull the inner wall apart, opening the pore. A turgidity increase (not decrease) drives opening. NCERT Reference: NCERT Class XI, Ch 6 Anatomy of Flowering Plants, p.72, line ~26: "The outer walls of guard cells (away from the stomatal pore) are thin and the inner walls (towards the stomatal pore) are highly thickened" (radial microfibril orientation underlies this differential wall behaviour during opening).
