Question

Match the contents of column I with column II.

	Column I		Column II
A	Xylem	(i)	Gaseous exchange
B	Lenticels	(ii)	Translocation of food
C	Guard cells	(iii)	Transport of sap
D	Phloem	(iv)	Transpiration

• A. A- (i), B- (ii), C- (iii), D- (iv)
• B. A- (iii), B- (i), C- (iv), D- (ii)
• C. A- (ii), B- (i), C- (iv), D- (iii)
• D. A- (iii), B- (iv), C- (i), D- (ii)

Answer 1

The correct option is B A- (iii), B- (i), C- (iv), D- (ii)

• Lenticels are one of many raised pores in the stem of a woody plant that allows gas exchange between the atmosphere and the internal tissues. Guard cells are cells surrounding each stoma.
• They help to regulate the rate of transpiration by opening and closing the stomata. The function of xylem is to transport water and minerals. The function of the phloem is to transport food.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
