Answer

Bulliform Cells: In the leaves of some plants, especially monocotyledons, some upper epidermal cells are swollen. These are called bulliform cells. They store water and swell due to which the leaves open. As soon as these cells release water, the leaves fold and close. Example: Leaves of plants of Gramineae family.

Exarch	Endarch
1. This condition is found in the vascular bundles of the root.	Found in the stem.
2. In this, protoxylem is situated towards the outside and metaxylem is situated towards the inside.	Protoxylem is situated towards the inside and metaxylem is situated towards the outside.
3. The development of cell progresses from outside to inside	Development progresses from inside to outside.

The stems in ginger and banana are underground and swollen due to storage of food. They are called rhizome. Rhizome of ginger is a modification of stem because it bears nodes, internodes, terminal buds, scaly leaves and buds, which give rise to aerial shoots. It is not a root because root does not have nodes and internodes. Also, rhizome does not perform the function of roots i.e. anchorage and absorption, rather it serve as reservoir for storage of food. Similarly, corm is an underground stem in Colocasia (jimikand) The tips of the underground stem in potato become swollen due to accumulation of food and forms tuber.

The conifer forests of the world cover huge areas of land and provide the largest terrestrial carbon sink. Conifers are also valued economically; their softwood is used for the production of timber, they are used to cultivate pine nuts, and the berries of the juniper bush are used to flavour gin. As in all other vascular plants, gymnosperms have a sporophyte dominant life cycle (the sporophyte is the diploid multicellular stage, which comprises the body of the plant, i.e., a leafy tree).The gametophyte phase is relatively short, and sees gametes produced on the reproductive organs.
