MCQ
In a cereal grain the single cotyledon of embryo is represented by
  • A
    coleoptile
  • B
    coleorhiza
  • scutellum
  • D
    prophyll.

Answer

Correct option: C.
scutellum
c
(c) : The cotyledons are known as seed leaves, they are attached to the embryonic axis. Dicotyledons typically have two cotyledons and monocotyledons have only one cotyledon. The Embryo sacMicropyle Nucellus Chalaza Funicle ingle shield shaped cotyledon in grains is known as scutellum.The scutellum does not contain food and its function is to absorb food from the endosperm and transfer it to the growing parts of the embryo. The plumule consists of growing tip of the shoot along with few young leaf primordia. It is covered by a sheath called coleoptile. The radicle which lies at the base of the grain is also covered with a sheath called coleorhiza. The hypocotyl is very short and is represented by a short axis in between radicle and plumule.pericarp and seed coat fused endospermaleurone layercoleoptileleaf plumule cotyledon (scutellum) redicle coleorhizaL.

Which of the following controls permeability
Assertion : The atmospheric concentration of $CO_2$ at which photosynthesis just compensates for respiration is referred to as $CO_2$ compensation point.
Reason : The $CO_2$ compensation point is reached when the amount of $CO_2$ uptake is less than that generated through respiration because the level of $CO_2$ in the atmosphere is more than that required for achieving $CO_2$ compensation point.
