Question

a. Hydathode pore or stoma
b. Tracheids
c. Epithem cells
d. Mesophyll cell
e. Guttation
f. Water and minerals
g. Water drop

• A. A- g, B- a, C- b, D- d, E- c
• B. A- g, B- a, C- b, D- c, E- d
• C. A- a, B- g, C- b, D- d, E- c
• D. A- c, B- a, C- b, D- d, E- g

Answer 1

The correct option is A A- g, B- a, C- b, D- d, E- c

The process depicted in the figure is guttation. In guttation water is lost in solution form (Label A), directly from the xylary elements or tracheids (Label C). The thin walled loosely packed cells directly below the hydathode pore (Label B) are called as epithem (Label E). The mesophyll (Label D) layer is present directly below the epidermis.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
