Question
Chapter 35, Problem 3S
Summary Introduction
To design:
An imaginary modifies root, shoot, or leaf and to make a case for giving the reasons for it to be the best example of the modified plant organ as the plant organs undergo many modification to deal with environmental challenges.
Introduction:
Stem supports the leaves and transports the water and nutrients in all parts of the plant. The main function of the leaves is to use sunlight to produce water and sugar by the process of photosynthesis. Roots support the plant as well as transport the water and nutrients from the soil to different parts of the plant.

- Identify three major functions of roots. Describe two types of specialized stems. What is each type of stem specialized for? Discuss the main parts of an angiosperm leaf. Predict how the stem of a desert plant might be specialized for its environment. Contrast a taproot system with a fibrous root system. Relate leaf variation to environmental variation.arrow_forwardA typical plant body consists of basic organs such as roots, stems, and leaves. Over millions of years, these plant organs have become adapted for a variety of functions. Identify how each plant organ has been modified/adapted and indicate the function(s) thereof. This question can be done in table format.arrow_forwardIdentify and indicate each plant's specialized function. The following are the available choices. Choices can be repeated and answers can be two or more. Just write the letter with the correct answers. A. Reproduction (plantlets or buds may grow along with blades and petioles' notches, bases, apices, and tips.) B. Aeration (Increase petiole size to increase buoyancy) C. Support (As in the banana plant, the presence of tendrils, hooks, and supporting leaf bases.) D. Protection (Bud scales, motile leaves, spines, stipules, and bracts are all present.) E. Water storage (This is particularly important in desert plants with succulent leaves that store water in their large, thin-walled parenchyma cells. Certain plants, such as onions and lilies, store food in their leaves.) F. Attraction (Some plants have petaloid flower bracts or brightly variegated leaves.) G. Absorption (Insectivorous leaves, particularly unscrutinized leaves on some aquatic plants.) 1. Cadena de amor: 2. Rose: 3.…arrow_forward
