The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Dumbbell shaped structures in grasses is," we need to analyze the options provided and understand the relevant biological concepts. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question is asking about the specific structures in grasses that are shaped like dumbbells. 2. **Identify the Options**: The options given are: - a) Stoma - b) Guard cell - c) Subgerari cell - d) Stomatal complex 3. **Define Each Option**: - **Stoma**: This refers to the tiny openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange. It is not a structure itself but rather the opening formed by guard cells. - **Guard Cell**: These are specialized cells that surround each stoma and control its opening and closing. In grasses (monocots), these guard cells are shaped like dumbbells. - **Subgerari Cell**: This term is not commonly used in plant biology and may be a typographical error or confusion with another term. - **Stomatal Complex**: This term refers to the entire structure that includes the stoma and the guard cells. 4. **Focus on Grasses**: In grasses (which are monocots), the guard cells are distinctively shaped like dumbbells. This is a key characteristic that differentiates them from dicots, where guard cells are typically bean-shaped. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question is **b) Guard cell**, as these are the dumbbell-shaped structures found in grasses. ### Final Answer: The dumbbell shaped structures in grasses is **Guard cell**.
