(a) Mechanical support
(b) Radial conduction of water and minerals
(c) Lateral conduction of food
(d) Minimise water loss in water stress
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) Mechanical support

Explanation:
1. Heartwood is dead and blocked due to organic substance deposition.

(a) Both are the regions of secondary xylem
(b) Both are involved in the conduction of water
(c) Both comprise dead elements with accumulation of aromatic compounds
(d) Both are located in the central layers of the stem
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) Both are the regions of secondary xylem

Explanation:
1. Only sapwood is involved in the conduction of water because heartwood is blocked with accumulation of aromatic compounds.
2. Heartwood is completely dead because xylem parenchyma is used up in formation of tyloses.

(c) Pneumatophores
(d) Trichomes
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) Lenticels

Explanation:
1. Lenticels are lens-shaped breathing pores.
2. Bulliform cells are modified epidermal cells which reduce transpirational loss during water stress in monocots.
3. Pneumatophores are negatively geotropic roots of marsh plants for oxygen intake.
4. Trichomes are multicellular stem hairs which reduce transpiration by covering the surface.
