Chapter 35, Problem 1TYU
Summary Introduction

Introduction: Plants exhibit two types of growth: primary growth and secondary growth. Plant’s primary growth involves growth in plant length. It usually occurs in roots and shoots. The apical meristem tissues allow this type of growth. On the other hand, the secondary growth involves growth in thickness. The lateral meristem assists in this type of growth. The secondary growth occurs in the parts of plant where the primary growth has been stopped. The two types of embryonic shoot present in dicots are terminal buds and axillary buds.

Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct answer: Axillary buds are located in the upper angle between a leaf and the stem to which it is attached.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct answer:

The axillary buds, also called lateral buds, are embryonic shoots that are located at the axil of a leaf. The axil is the upper angle between a leaf and the stem to which it is attached. They are found only in dicots.

Option (d) is given as “in the upper angle between a leaf and the stem to which it is attached”.

The axillary buds are an embryonic shoot that is located in the axil of a leaf.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Reasons for incorrect answers:

Option (a) is given as “at the tips of stems”.

The terminal buds are the primary growing point of the plant which is located at the tip of the stem.

Hence, option (a) is incorrect.

Option (b) is given as “in unusual places, such as on roots”.

The buds that are found in unusual places are called as adventitious buds.

Hence, option (b) is incorrect.

Option (c) is given as “in the region between two successive nodes”.

The region between two successive nodes is known as internode. The axillary buds are not found in internodes.

Hence, option (c) is incorrect.

Option (e) is given as “within the loosely arranged cells of lenticels”.

Lenticels are loose aggregate of cells in the periderm. They help in gaseous exchange between the atmosphere and the living tissue inside the bark. The axillary buds are not found in lenticels.

Hence, option (e) is incorrect.

Hence, options (a), (b), (c), and (e) are incorrect.

Conclusion

Axillary buds are found in between the leaf and stem.

Students have asked these similar questions
How much ATP will be produced during the following metabolic scenario: Aerobic respiration of a 5mM lipid solution that is made up of one glycerol and an 8-carbon fatty acid and 12-carbon fatty acid. Recall that when glycerol breaks down to Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate it costs one ATP but your get an extra FADH2. Every two carbons of a fatty acid break down to one acetyl-CoA.  Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.
If a bacterium using aerobic respiration was to degrade one small protein molecule into 8 molecules of pyruvic acid, how many ATP would that cell make? Assume there is no other carbon source.   Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in molecules of ATP.
If a bacterium using aerobic respiration was to degrade a 30 mM solution of citric acid, how many ATP would that cell make?  Assume no other carbon source is available.  Units cannot be entered in this style of question but the units of your answer should be in mM of ATP.
