Biology Question on Anatomy of Dicotyledonous and Monocotyledonous Plants
Bulliform cells are present in
A
bundle sheath
B
mesophyll
C
vascular bundles
D
epidermis.
Answer
epidermis.
Explanation
Solution
Bulliform cells are present in epidermis. These epidermal cells are found in the upper leaf epidermis of Poaceae and other monocotyledons. Turgor changes in bulliform cells are responsible for the inrolling and unrolling of leaves e.g. maiza, psamma grasses. Therefore they are also called motor cells. They are highly vacuolate and can store water.
