Question
Chapter 29.7, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The formation of non-lethal spiral splash around the bark of apple tree that can be removed after the growing season makes apple sweeter.
Introduction:
The plant organs, which produce the sugar (glucose) by photosynthetic pathway or splitting of starch into glucose, are called sugar sources. The mature leaves are the example of sugar sources. The plant organs, which are centers for the consumption of glucose and also act as a depository for the sugar molecules, are called sugar sinks. The fruits, stems, buds, and growing roots are sugar sinks.

Students have asked these similar questions
Figure shows several chemicals that carry nitrogen up from the roots to the rest of the plant. What is the unusual feature of these chemicals that make them good carriers?
What If? After growing carrots for one season, agardener decides that the carrots are too small. Sincecarrots are biennials, the gardener leaves the crop in theground for a second year, thinking the carrot roots willgrow larger. Is this a good idea? Explain.
B. LEAF ADAPTATION
The main function of the leaf is in the processes of photosynthesis and
transpiration. Apart from these functions, leaf is sometimes adapted to
perform other functions.
Examples of leaf adaptations are for:
a)
Support, which could be seen by the presence of tendrils
b)
Catching insects, by having cup-liked shape of hairs sensitive to
touch
c)
Reproduction, by having meristematic cells able to produce new
shoots that will go on to become new individual plants
d)
Food and water storage, especially found in plants living in dry areas
where water is scarce (for example succulent plants, having leaf storing
food and water)
e)
Floatation, for plants living on the water surface, their leaves in
general will have air openings on tissues (used for floating) usually
found on leaf petiole
f)
Protection, by having leaves completely or partially modified as thorns
Instruction:
a)
1. Search for ONE plant species with the following leaf adaptations
2. Give their scientific names…
