What is true about a monocot leaf?
Correct answer: C. Mesophyll not differentiated into palisade and spongy tissues
- A. Reticulate venation
- B. Absence of bulliformcells from epidermis
- C. Mesophyll not differentiated into palisade and spongy tissues
- D. Well-differentiated mesophyll
Explanation
In monocot leaf, mesophyll cells are not differentiated into palisade and spongy tissues. But there are well differentiated mesophyll cells in the dicot stem. Also in the upper epidermis, there are some large cells found in groups which are called bulliform cells. The venation pattern in the monocot is parallel.
