- C1,3 and 4 are correct
- Donly 2 is correct
Correct answer
C. 1,3 and 4 are correct
Step-by-step solution
In an isobilateral leaf, the stomata are present on both the surfaces of the epidermis, In grasses, certain adaxial epidermal cells along the veins modify themselves into large, empty, colourless cells. These are called bulliform cells," and "When they are flaccid due to water stress, they make the leaves curl inwards to minimize water loss, the mesophyll in isobilateral leaves is not differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma. the anatomy of isobilateral leaves is similar in many ways, not every way.
