Match column- I with column - II and select the CORRECT option from the codes given below.
| Column – I | Column – II |
| (1) Bulliform cells | (i) Regulate the opening and closing of stomata |
| (2) Guard cells | (ii) Aerating pores in the bark of the plant |
| (3) Lenticels | (iii) Rolling in and out of leaves |
| (4) Subsidiary cells | (iv) Accessory cells |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
On the upper surface of the isobilateral leaves of monocots large, bubble-shaped cells are present called bulliform cells. These cells help in rolling leaves to prevent transpiration and loss of water. Guard cells surround the stomatal pore and help in the opening and closing of the stomata. Pores formed by rupture of the epidermal region of root and stem at certain locations which help in aeration is called lenticels. These are commonly seen on the bark after secondary growth. Epidermal cells found around the guard cells are called subsidiary cells. The cells are also referred to as accessory cells.
