16. Presence of sheathing leafbase covering the stem 22. Palmately compound leaf is the one in which the
partially or wholly is the characteristic of certain - leaflets develop from a common point i.e. at the tip of-

17. What is the function of thin flexible petiole?

23. Leaves are modified into tendrils in -
(1) It helps the plant to climb.
(1) Parkinsonia (2) Pea
(2) It increases the rate of respiration.
(3) It allows leaf blade/lamina to flutter in wind there (3) Ranunculus (4) Oxalis
by cooling the leaf and bringing fresh air to leaf
surface. 24. Study the given figures and identify the kind of
(4) It decreases the rate of transpiration. phyllotaxy.

18. Which of the following statements is false about leaf?

(1) A leaf is said to be simple, when its lamina is
entire or when incised, the incisions do not touch
the midrib.
(2) A leaf is said to be compound when the incisions
of lamina reach upto the midrib breaking into a
number of leaflets.
(3) Leaf is the most important vegetative organ for (i) (ii) (iii)
photosynthesis. (1) Whorled Opposite Alternate
(4) Leaf is not a transpiratory organ. (2) Alternate Opposite Whorled
(3) Opposite Alternate Whorled

option.
20. In a pinnately compound leaf (as seen in Neem) a
