Question

Casparian Strips are found on the

• A. Walls of pericycle cells
• B. Walls of endodermal cells
• C. Walls of epidermal cells
• D. Walls of bundle sheath cells

Answer 1

The correct option is B Walls of endodermal cells

Endodermis is the innermost layer of the cortex. It is made up of barrel-shaped cells which do not enclose intercellular spaces. The young endodermal cells possess a ligno suberised thickenings called casparian strip s or casparina bands which runs along their radial and tangential walls.

So the correct option is 'Walls of endodermal cells'.
