- READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS: Bryophytes in which the gametophytes are "leafy" in appearance and the sporophytes grow conspicuously from the tips of the gametophyte plants. STEP 1: Examine the mass of moss plants and then select one or two individual gametophyte plants and note the leaf-like (not true leaves because they lack conducting tissue) structures which are arranged around a central, vertical "stem-like" stalk and root-like rhizoids which anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients. STEP: The sex organs are in the tips of the plants and must be seen with the microscope. Study a slide of a vertical section through head of a mate plant and note the many antheridia. STEP 3: Examine a slide through a vertical section of a female plant. Note the many upright archegonia each on a tall stalk and each with a swollen base or venter containing an egg and an elongate neck. Note the filamentous paraphyses between the archegonia. STEP 4: Examine a living or preserved…arrow_forwardCut a transverse section of young stem of a plant from your school garden and observe it under the microscope.

Draw a sketch of this twig and label all the following structures: terminal bud, lateral bud, terminal bud scale scars (show several sets of terminal bud scars that are visible on the main stem), leaf scars, vascular bundle scars AMooReok Droarrow_forwardThe primary meristems of monocots are located in a different area of the plant body than those found in eudicots. Where are monocot meristems located and what is it about this arrangement that make them (grasses) more suitable for lawns than eudicots?

Leaf A has a waxy cuticle on the upper epidermis and stomata on the lower epidermis. Leaf B a waxy cuticle on the upper epidermis and a lower epidermis covered with petroleum jelly. Both leaves were cut from the same plant. i)Explain why it is important for the leaves to be cut from the same plant.
