Question 2 · NEET 2026

The main function of bulliform cells in grasses is :
  1. A.to make the leaf impermeable to fungal spores.
  2. B.to transport water.
  3. C.to perform photosynthesis.
  4. D.to minimize water loss during water stress.
Answer and explanation

Answer: D

Bulliform cells are large, empty, colourless epidermal cells in grass leaves. Under water stress they lose turgor and become flaccid, making the leaf roll or fold inward, which reduces the exposed surface area and thus minimizes transpirational water loss.
