Biology Question on Cell Theory
Bulliform cells are responsible for
A
Inward curling of leaves in monocots
B
Protecting the plant from salt stress
C
Increased photosynthesis in monocots
D
Providing large spaces for storage of sugars
Answer
Inward curling of leaves in monocots
Explanation
Solution
Bulliform cells are specialized epidermal cells in monocot plants. They play a key role in water conservation by causing the leaf to curl inward during periods of water stress, reducing water loss through transpiration.
