V. The different types of leaf tips or apexes (Fig.2b) are: rounded, that is, broad and semicircular in outling; truncate, cut off square or nearly so; acutg ending in acute angle with the sides straight; acumindte, pointed, but tapering lines incurved; obluse, blunt or narrowly rounde; retuse, slightly notched at the apex (authors like Porter, 1967 and Henderson et al., 1963 defines retuse as bhaving a broad shallow or rounde notch at the apex)emarginlated, prominently notched at the apex; obcordate, with a sinus and two-rounded lobes; cuspidate, tipped with a cusp or sharp point; mucronate, abruptly tipped by a small short point, aristate, the mucronate point is longer and more or less bristle-like; and caudate, similar to aristate but the appendage broader and not bristle-like. Some or all of those terms are also applicable to the base of the leaf and to other organs of the plant.

2. Michael P. was very weak from birth, with poor muscle tone, difficulty breathing, and great fatigue. By his third month, he began having seizures. Michael’s medical tests were normal except for one: his cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord) was unusually high in glucose. Hypothesizing that the boy could not produce enough ATP, doctors gave him a diet rich in certain fatty acids that caused the cellular respiration pathway to resume at the point of acetyl CoA formation. Michael rapidly improved. Explain what caused his symptoms. HINT What part of cellular respiration was not working in Michael's cells?
