Question

Casparian strips can be found in a place like

• A. Pericycle
• B. Epidermis
• C. Exodermis
• D. Endodermis

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Endodermis

• Casparian strip is a band of cell wall layers formed on the endodermis's radial and transverse walls chemically different from the remainder of the cell wall.

• The Casparian strip produces suberin and lignin on rare occasions, while the cell wall is lignin-based and lacks suberin.

• It restricts the passive flow of elements, including water and solutes, into a plant's stele.
