Cell Modifications Functions A. Bulliform Cells 1. Absorb water and help the leaf curl inwards when flaccid B. Epidermal Cells 2. Provide mechanical strength to the stem C. Sclerenchyma Cells 3. Protects the leaf and aids in structural support D. Collenchyma Cells 4. Contribute to water transport and storage
Options
- AA - 1, B - 4, C - 2, D - 3
- BA - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4
- CA - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4
- DA - 1, B - 3, C - 2, D - 4
Correct answer
D. A - 1, B - 3, C - 2, D - 4
Step-by-step solution
Bulliform cells help the leaf curl inwards when flaccid, epidermal cells protect the leaf, sclerenchyma cells provide mechanical strength, and collenchyma cells contribute to structural support.
