Concept explainers
To explain: The similarity between corms and bulbs.
Concept introduction: Asexual reproduction is a common mode of reproduction found in plants in which a single parent can gives rise to the offspring. In such mode of reproduction, a part of the plant becomes separated from the parent and grows into a genetically identical plant through mitosis.
To explain: The difference between corms and bulbs.
Concept introduction: Asexual reproduction is a common mode of reproduction found in plants in which a single parent can gives rise to the offspring. In such mode of reproduction, a part of the plant becomes separated from the parent and grows into a genetically identical plant through mitosis. Certain plant parts such as stem, root, leaf, and buds are specifically modified for asexual reproduction.

(b) What is the shape and arrangement of the spongy mesophyll in the dicot leaf?arrow_forwardDraw illustrations to bring out the anatomical difference between(a) Monocot root and Dicot root(b) Monocot stem and Dicot stemarrow_forward
- Sketch side by side two daughter cells formed after mitosis of a meristematic cell in the vascular cambium of a eudicot stem. Label the cell formed toward the interior of the stem a meristematic cell. Should the daughter cellformed toward the outside be labeled primary xylem, primary phloem, secondary xylem, or secondary phloem?arrow_forwardWhat's the function of phloem? 1.) it conducts sugars, amino acids, and hormones throughout the plant? 2.) it conducts water, dissolves minerals, and inorganic ions from the roots 3.) it provides structural support in the form of tracheid and vessel elements 4.) it allows water to evaporate into the environmentarrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT a function of the stem in a plant? Which of the following is NOT a function of the stem in a plant? A) absorb water B) store nutrients C) produce new plant cells D) support flowers and leavesarrow_forward
- Describe the structure of monocot and Dicot stem and roots?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true of xylem? A) It is found in all land plants.B) It assists in conducting of materials, such as water and minerals, throughout the plant.C) It can provide structural support to the plant.D) It is found in the gametophyte generation, but not in the sporophyte.E) It contains specialized cells known as tracheids and vessel elementsarrow_forwardIn spring, as an avid gardener, you have planted a variety of plants in your garden. As spring progresses, the girth of your plants increases. As a student of botany, you can explain the increase in girth through activity in the A) vascular cambium. B) secondary phloem. C) periderm. D) parenchyma. O E) collenchyma.arrow_forward
- Compare the leaf structure of Nerium to Ligustrum. Look for stomata. Where are they located? On the upper or lower leaf surface? How is the surface of the leaf modified? Can you recognize why these leaves are said to have “sunken stomata”? Look for “hairs” on the leaf surface. Where are they located? How are they advantageous? How does the appearance of each tissue layer in Nerium differ from Ligustrum? Compare the upper epidermis to the lower epidermis. Compare the amount of cuticle.arrow_forwardWhen describing vegetative propagation, what is meant by the proximal end of a cutting? Group of answer choices A)The end that has buds on it B)The end closest to the base or roots of the plant C)The end closest to the growing tips of the plant D)The plumule inside a baby seedarrow_forwardWhat are Phytochrome, photoreceptor, red and far-red light?arrow_forward
