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.

- Instruction: FILL IN THE BLANKS 1. Vascular tissues are classified as _________________ tissue. That is, they are composed of more than one kind of cells and do not undergo differentiation. The xylem tissue in the primary plant body is called primary xylem and is produced specifically by the _____________ (meristem). 2. The large, highly vascularized leaves that function for photosynthesis in most vascular plants is called _____________, while the spore bearing leaves is called _________. 3. In the non vascular plants, the plant structure that functions for photosynthesis is the _______________, while the part that anchors the plant to the ground is the ________. 4. In the xylem, the perforation plates of ______________ is a counterpart of the ______________ of the sieve tube element in terms of structure and function. Sieve tube elements are the main conducting cells of the _______________ tissue. 5.

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.
