The rhizome of ferns like the one shown in the previous question, have a dictyostele vascular cylinder. In your own words, what does this term mean and how does it differ from the protostele seen in the Lycophytes?

Expert Solution

The stele is defined as a central vascular cylinder with or without pith surrounded by the endodermis. The leaves are connected with the stele by a vascular supply that runs from the leaf to the stele and it is known as the leaf supply.

Dictyostele: It is a type of siphonostele( in siphonostele pith is present and the vascular tissues are arranged in the form of a ring-like hollow cylinder). In dictyostele, large vertically elongated leaf gaps are seen. As a result, vascular tissues appear dissected and the resulting appearance is a net-like structure.

Protostele -the simplest form of stele and it is also the most primitive type. This stele doesn't possess a central pith and generally, xylem is surrounded by phloem but sometimes they may intermingle together. The difference between protostele and dictyostele is that the later possesses a central pith which is absent in the former one.

In an engine cycle like the one shown in Figure

In an engine cycle like the one shown in Figure heat is added over a range of temperatures. Explain why even if it were run reversibly, its efficiency would be less than the Carnot limit defined by the high- and low-temperature set points and shown in the figure ( ηC = T4-T2)/T4. Is this in itself a disadvantage of such a cycle?
