Question
Chapter 36, Problem 4TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: In animals, tissues are organized such that they display different levels of symmetry. Symmetry is determined by the body axis and facilitates different functions. It may be absent, may be bilateral, radial, biradial or spherical.

Please answer the first question
Identify 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.)

2. Rose:

Describe how one may test for the presence of starch on a piece of potato tissue. iii) Give TWO characteristics of monocotyledonous plants. d. The transition of plants from an aquatic environment to a terrestrial one has broughtabout many evolutionary adaptations for plants to survive on land. Give ONE adaptationfor each of the following divisions:i) Mosses: ii) Gymnosperms.

The numbers below shows the density of stomata on the leaf surfaces of three species of plants. Based on this information, which statement is incorrect? Stomata Density: Elodea (upper epidermis) = 0, (lower epidermis) = 0, Water Lily (upper) = 420, (lower) = 0, Black Walnut (upper) = 0, (lower) = 465 a) Since Elodea does not have any stomata, it does not carry out photosynthesis. b) In Elodea’s aquatic environment, stomata are not used to control gas exchange. c) Since black walnut trees thrive on land, stomata are located on lower surface to decrease the amount of water lost in the heat of the sun. d) Since water lilies live on the surface of water, transpiration occurs from the upper epidermis because that is where it is in contact with air.arrow_forward
