Question

In barley stem vascular bundles are -

• A. Closed and radial
• B. Open and scattered
• C. Closed and scattered
• D. Open and in a ring

Answer 1

The correct option is C Closed and scattered

Barley is a monocot type of stem. In these stems, vascular bundles are closed as they don't have vascular cambium. Thus, no secondary growth is visible in the monocot stem. So, vascular bundles are scattered throughout the ground tissue.

Hence, in Barley stem, vascular bundles are closed and scattered.

The correct answer is C.
