Question

Palisade parenchyma is absent in leaf of .....
A :Mango
B:Wheat
C:Soybean
D:Gram​

Answer 1

Palisade parenchyma is not found in - B Wheat.

Palisade parenchyma are the cells that which actively participate in photosynthesis and are found in leaves.

These cells are formed from differentiation of mesophyll cells. Mesophyll cells differentiate to form two types of cells namely, palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma.

This differentiation is seen only in Dicots, hence, since wheat has a monocot seeds, it does not have palisade parenchyma.

Example of Dicot seeds is mango.

Answer 2

Option (B) is Right Answer

Explanation:

  (B) Palisade parenchyma is absent in leaf of Wheat

• Monocot mesophyll isn't separated into palisade and spongy layers

• Sorghum (monocot) doesn't have palisade parenchyma
• Palisade cells happen in dicotyledonous plants and furthermore in the net-veined monocot
• They are available in dicots, for example, gram and soyabean
• The leaves of monocot don't contain palisade parenchyma in light of the fact that the mesophyll of monocot leaf isn't separated into palisade and supple parenchyma
