Question

In monocot leaves, the mesophyll Consists of

• A. Aerenchyma
• B. Only Spongy chlorenchyma
• C. Only Palisade Chlorenchyma
• D. Palisade and Spongy Chlorenchyma

Answer 1

The correct option is B Only Spongy chlorenchyma

Mesophyll in monocot leaves lie between the two layers of epidermis and is not differentiated in palisade and spongy tissues. Instead, the undifferentiated mesophyll is similar to spongy tissue. It consists of the mesophyll cells that are chlorenchymatous and contain a number of chloroplasts.

So the correct answer is 'Only spongy chlorenchyma'.
