- Kindly provide 2 examples plants having "adaptations for cladophyll" including (i) mechanical support (ii) transportation or root materials (iii) production of new plantsarrow_forwardWhen plants first moved on to land, they faced with a wide variety of new challenges. Two of these challenges include the risk of drying out and the ability to access/transport resources. Describe not just list 4 adaptations that allow plants to cope with these challenges, 2 for coping with drying out and 2 for coping with accessing/transporting resources.arrow_forwardQueation #1. Describe the different orders under the monocots in terms of plant habit, reproductive type (monoecius/dioecius), leaf type, leaf shape, floral characteristics, fruit morphology, seed size/shape, and other distinct features. Question #2. Identify the economic uses of at least 3 species in each order under the monocots. Question #3. Discuss the importance of several species of monocots in relation to the existence of human race. Do you think they are vital to our survival?arrow_forward

- You have been asked to observe a 2m2 area of a forest ecosystem in the Northern Range. Describe three (3) diagnostic features of each of the following plant groups liverwort, clubmoss, fern, and monocot which you would use to determine which plant group the species under observation belongs. The characteristics may be vegetative or reproductive but must be observable in the field with the naked eye or with the use of a hand lens. Plant group Diagnostic feature Diagnostic feature Diagnostic featureliverwortclubmossfernmonocotarrow_forwardT/F Question Parenchyma is soft, internal plant tissue. Xylem and phloem are plant structural tissue. Periderm tissue is a type of plant epidermis in young stems and roots. Plant shoots include stems, leaves, and flowers. Monocot stems have their vascular bundles arranged in a ring pattern in the ground tissue. Eudicots have their leaf veins arranged in a parallel pattern. Photosynthesis in leaves takes place in the mesophyll layer Eudicots possess a large taproot. The limiting factor for plants is phosphorus. Root hairs help to decrease the absorbtive surface area of a plant. Xylem conducts plant sugars and organic molecules. Plant tissues grow from meristem cells that continually divide during the growing season. Primary plant growth involves thickening of the stems and roots. Plants can undergo asexual reproduction without cross-pollination. The fertilization process in plants is a double fertilization process. Over 1/3 of the U.S. food supply comes from the cross-pollination…arrow_forwardYou should have found more stomata on the lower portion of the eudicot leaf. What is the advantage of having more stomata on the lower portion of the leaf rather than on the upper portion? Was this true for the monocot leaf as well? What conclusions about stomata placement can you make from these observations? MacBook Pro Q Search or enter address # $ % & 2 3 4 W Earrow_forward
