The external parts that can be observed are nodes, internodes, leaf scar, lenticel, and buds (axillary and terminal). Examine and compare their external morphology by answering the questions below: 1. Why are terminal buds considered an active part of the stem? 2. Of what importance are nodes to the plant? 3. What are inter nodes and where are they located? 4. What is the function of the lenticels? Do all stems have lenticels? 5.

The "leafy" plants are the gametophytes and any elongated structures growing above them are the sporophytes. (See text Figure 16-27, page 385.) 15. Label the following in Figure 5 below: spores, zygote, protonema, gametophyte, meiosis, female, male, sporophyte, archegonia, sperm, sporangium.

Moss Life Cycle (drawn by Stephanie Preising, SCSU '20) Obtain a gametophyte and observe its symmetry, its leaf like structures, its axis (pseudo- stem), and is rhizoids. Some species of mosses are unisexual; others are bisexual. The moss gametophyte originates as budlike structures that develop from a protonema (plural: protonemata), a system of branching filaments derived from a germinating spore.arrow_forwardPlease help! Plants are comprised of several types of tissues.a. What are the three types of plant tissues? Give a specific example of each, and clearly discuss its function.b.

- Instructions: Try to uproot one living dicot (ex. dandelion) and monocot (ex. grass) representative plant. Observe the roots of each plant and characterize as follows: A. Type of root system B. Presence of primary root C. Presence of lateral roots D. Presence of adventitious roots Note: Indicate the name of the plant, the root system it exhibits and the parts present. Tabulate the result of your observation using the table below. Answer the related questions below. Root Characteristics Monocot Specimen (Name) Dicot Specimen (Name) Type of root system Presence of primary root Presence of lateral roots Presence of adventitious roots 1. Which root system gives better anchorage and why? 2. List down five general features of roots you can recognize in both of your specimens.arrow_forwardB. 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…arrow_forwardQuestion 1: What is meant by modification of root? What type of modification of root is found in the (a) Banyan tree (b) Turnip (c) Mangrove treesarrow_forward
