Past NEET questions on Anatomy of Flowering Plants

Try each one, then open the answer and explanation.

Question 1 · NEET 2025

In the seeds of cereals, the outer covering of endosperm separates the embryo by a protein-rich layer called:

  1. A.Coleoptile
  2. B.Coleorhiza
  3. C.Integument
  4. D.Aleurone layer
Show answer

Answer: D. Aleurone layer

In cereal seeds (e.g., maize), the aleurone layer is the outer protein-rich layer of the endosperm. It separates the endosperm from the embryo.

Question 2 · NEET 2025

Find the statement that is NOT correct with regard to the structure of monocot stem.

  1. A.Hypodermis is parenchymatous.
  2. B.Vascular bundles are scattered.
  3. C.Vascular bundles are conjoint and closed.
  4. D.Phloem parenchyma is absent.
Show answer

Answer: A. Hypodermis is parenchymatous.

In monocot stems, hypodermis is sclerenchymatous, not parenchymatous. Vascular bundles are scattered, conjoint, and closed. Phloem parenchyma is typically absent. Hence (A) is incorrect.

Question 3 · NEET 2024

Which of the following simple tissues are commonly found in the fruit walls of nuts and pulp of pear?

  1. A.Sclereids
  2. B.Fibres
  3. C.Parenchyma
  4. D.Collenchyma
Show answer

Answer: A. Sclereids

Fruit walls of nuts contain hard stone cells (sclereids). Pulp of pear is gritty due to clusters of sclereids. Parenchyma may be present but sclereids are characteristic. Options A and C both plausible, but the stem asks for common tissue in both parts; sclereids fit both.

Question 4 · NEET 2024

Which of the following helps in maintenance of the pressure gradient in sieve tubes?

  1. A.Albuminous cells
  2. B.Sieve cells
  3. C.Phloem parenchyma
  4. D.Companion cells
Show answer

Answer: D. Companion cells

Pressure flow hypothesis explains sugar transport in phloem. Sucrose is actively loaded into sieve tubes at sources, increasing osmotic pressure and drawing in water. This creates a pressure gradient to sink tissues. Active loading is performed by companion cells which provide energy and transport proteins.

Question 5 · NEET 2024

Given below are two statements: Statement I: In a dicotyledonous leaf, the adaxial epidermis generally bears more stomata than the abaxial epidermis. Statement II: In a dicotyledonous leaf, the adaxially placed palisade parenchyma is made up of elongated cells, which are arranged vertically and parallel to each other. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A.Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  2. B.Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  3. C.Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  4. D.Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Show answer

Answer: B. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

In dicot leaves, stomata are typically more abundant on the lower surface (abaxial) to reduce water loss, so Statement I is false. Palisade parenchyma is indeed located adaxially, with elongated cells arranged vertically and parallel, so Statement II is true.
