Anatomy Of Flowering Plants
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Parenchyma is living but collenchyma is dead tissue.
Statement II: Gymnosperms lack xylem vessels but presence of xylem vessels is the characteristic of
angiosperms.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A Both Statement I and Statement II are false
B Both Statement I and Statement II are true
C Statement I is false but Statement II is true
D Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Explanation: In NCERT, parenchyma is living tissue at maturity, used for storage and photosynthesis. Collenchyma is also living with unevenly thickened cell walls, not dead; hence Statement I is false. Gymnosperms lack xylem vessels and have tracheids instead, while angiosperms have xylem vessels. Therefore, the statement “presence of xylem vessels is the characteristic of angiosperms” is true. So the correct choice is: Statement I is false and Statement II is true.
? Did You Know? Collenchyma is living and provides flexible support; sclerenchyma is dead and provides rigid support. Xylem vessels are characteristic of flowering plants (angiosperms).
? NCERT Memory Line: Parenchyma is living; collenchyma is living with thickened walls; sclerenchyma is dead. Angiosperms have xylem vessels; gymnosperms lack vessels and have tracheids.

Photosynthesis In Higher Plants
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In C3 plants, some O2 binds to RuBisCO, hence CO2 fixation is decreased.
Statement II: In C4 plants, mesophyll cells show very little photorespiration while bundle sheath cells do not show photorespiration.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A Both Statement I and Statement II are false
B Both Statement I and Statement II are true
