Read the following statements. a)Dicot stems have conjoint, open vascular bundles with an endarch type of protoxylem. b)In dicotyledonous stems, cambium is present between phloem and xylem. c) The Pericycle is present on the inner side of the endodermis and above the phloem in the form of semi-lunar patches of collenchyma. d) In between the vascular bundles there are a few layers of radially placed parenchymatous cells̃, which constitute medullary rays. e)Numerous rounded, parenchymatous cells with large intercellular spaces which occupy the central portion of the stem constitute the pith. Which of the following statements is correct.

Discuss the differences between monocot and dicot stems in terms of their vascular tissue arrangement.

Which tissue is commonly seen in root and stem of both dicots and monocots?

In the vascular bundle of a dicot stemthe xylem is located on the outside and is closest to the epidermis.the phloem is composed of dead, lignified cells.phloem sieve tube cells are controlled by ‘companion’ cells.xylem cells transport water from the leaves to the roots.
