Question
Which of the following statements are true and which ones are false? Give reason in support of your answer.
Hydathodes are similar to stomata in plant physiology.
Options
True
False
Solution
False
Reason: Hydathodes are special pores present on the ends of leaf veins through which guttation occurs and water droplets are given out. Their openings cannot be regulated. Stomata on the other hand are minute openings in the epidermal layer of leaves through which exchange of gases as well as transpiration occurs. Water is given out as water vapour. Stomatal opening is regulated by guard cells.
