Statement II: In a dicotyledonous leaf, the adaxially placed palisade parenchyma is made up of elongated cells, which are arranged vertically and parallel to each other.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- BStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
Correct answer
B. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Step-by-step solution
In a dicotyledonous leaf, adaxial epidermis (upper surface) generally bears very less stomata and may even lack stomata. It has less number of stomata in comparison to abaxial surface.
The adaxially placed palisade parenchyma is made up of elongated cells, arranged vertically and parallel to each other.
