Question

Internal plant organization is studied under :
A) Anatomy
B) Cytology
C) Chronology
D) Morphology

Answer 1

Botany is the branch of science which deals with the study of different types of plants. It basically includes how a plant is grown, the structure of the plant and also how it is classified.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse the options to find the correct answer.

Option A: Anatomy - Anatomy is a branch of science which deals with the description of body structures of several living organisms, as shown by dissection.
Plant Anatomy is also called the “Phytotomy”. It involves the study of plants’ internal structures - root system, shoot system, tissues, stems, leaves, etc. Thus, this is the correct option.
Option B: Cytology - Also known as Cell biology, it is the branch of science, which mainly deals with the study of the cell’s types, structures, functions, etc.Thus, this option is incorrect.
Option C: Chronology - Chronology is the science of arranging events in their order of occurrence, it determines the dates and the sequence of events.Thus, this option is incorrect.
Option D: Morphology - Morphology is a branch of science that deals with the study of the plants’ external structures. A flowering plant consists of a shoot system, root system, and an axis.Thus, this option is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct option is (A) Anatomy.

Note: The application of plant anatomy is as follows,

It helps in identification of fragementary elements in the plants.
It provides evidence for taxonomic classification.
It helps in detection of adulterants in crude drugs.
