Answers
Answer:
Hi answer is
A well ‘stained leaf peel’ mount when observed under the ‘high power of a microscope’ shows nuclei in ‘guard cells and epidermal cells’.
Explanation:
The guard cells in leaves are bean-shaped structures surrounding each stoma which are openings through which transpiration takes place.
Guard cells are a type of modified epidermal cell which functions depending on the availability of amount of water.
Epidermal cells form the top layer of leaf cells. Typically they have a cuticle and have nucleus.
They provide a waxy texture to leaves. Under a microscope, these are the two types of cells which will be visible for nuclei.
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
a) epidermal cells,stomata with guard cells
b) stomata and guard cells without nuclei
c) stomata without guard cells
d) all the above
Answer:
Option-A
Explanation:
- The presence of Nuclei is a characteristic feature of the eukaryotic cell and when the plant cell present in the peel of a leaf is observed it shows the epidermal cells and the pores called stomata.
- The stomata are surrounded by the guard cell which is kidney-shaped and the guard cells are surrounded by the epidermal cells.
- When stained and observed they both the epidermal cells and the guard cells shows the presence of the nuclei.
Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.
