Question

Which of the following statement/s is/are INCORRECT?

I. The epidermis is made up of a single layer of cells.

II. In some plants living in very dry habitats, the epidermis is thinner.

III. Epidermal cells on the aerial parts of the plant often secrete a waxy, water resistant layer on their outer surface.

IV. Epidermal tissue forms a continuous layer with intercellular spaces.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 = false

2 = false

3 = true

4 = true

Answer 2

Statements II,IV are incorrect statements.

• In the dry regions the epidermis is usually thicker to prevent excessive loss of water by evaporation. That's why, the statement II is also false.
• The epidermal tissues don't have any kind of intercellular spaces, in order to protect the internal body parts. That's why, the statement IV is also false.
• Rest of the two statements are completely true.
