Describe each of the following types of specialized shoots. Be certain to account for modifications of the leaves, internodes, and orientation of growth: stolon, rhizome, tuber, bulb, corm, and tendril. Each provides a plant with a selective advantage. What is the adaptive value of each type of specialized shoot?

- Describe a modified structure and function of the following plant organs: Leaf - Stem - Root -arrow_forwardIdentify three major functions of roots. Describe two types of specialized stems. What is each type of stem specialized for? Discuss the main parts of an angiosperm leaf. Predict how the stem of a desert plant might be specialized for its environment. Contrast a taproot system with a fibrous root system. Relate leaf variation to environmental variation.arrow_forwardStomata are pores on the surface of plant leaves that allow for gaseous exchange. 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
- Compare a fern species such as a local epiphytic fern with a Caulerpa species. State the plant division to which they each belong. Identify the habitat of each species. Identify three (3) structural (morphological) characteristics which they share and one (1) internal structural characteristic which they do not share.arrow_forwardChoose the correctly matched among the following A) Epidermal tissue system – Root hairs B) Collenchyma – Dead cells C) Fibres – Water conduction D) Meristem – Fruit wallsarrow_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
- When plants first moved on to land, they faced with a wide variety of new challenges. Two of these challenges include the risk of drying out and the ability to access/transport resources. Describe not just list 4 adaptations that allow plants to cope with these challenges, 2 for coping with drying out and 2 for coping with accessing/transporting resources.arrow_forwardProvide a picture and label a diagram that illustrates the following features: holdfast (a root-like structure that attaches the seaweed to the bottom), stipe (a stem like structure, but not a true stem because it lacks vascular tissues), blades (leaf-like structures, but not true leaves because they lack veins), and pneumatocyst (an air-filled float).arrow_forwardGive one example of each of following metamorphic roots 1. Storage roots 2. Aerial roots 3. Haustoria 4. Contractile roots 5. Vegetative reproductionarrow_forward
- As part of an experiment you are required to observe the external features of a fern. State what microscope would you use and give reasons why? You have been provided with a plant showing the rooting system and the stem with several leaves. Give SIX features that you will look for to determine whether this is a monocotyledonous plant or a dicotyledonous plant. Present your answer in a clear, logical manner. In an experiment students were given the following materials and apparatus: - juices from three local fruits; 4% glucose solution; Benedict's solution; test tubes, beakers, syringes and boiling water bath. Describe CLEARLY the procedure that can be used to estimate the amount of glucos present in each juice. Use numbered steps in your answer.arrow_forwardMatch the following functions to their corresponding structures. Match each item to a choice: The typical organ of a fern that holds the sori. A vascular tissue that transports water. An underground stem that assists in distributing sporophyte bodies. An overhanging structure that protects the sorus. Specialized structures that produce spores. Choices: : xylem : rhizome : indusium : sporangia : frondarrow_forwardWhen vascular tissue first forms, the central cylinder of xylem and phloem is called a stele. The stele of vascular plants come in several types depending on how the vascular tissue is arranged. Below is a cross section of a clubmoss (Lycopodium), which is actually an ancestral group of seedless vascular plants and not a true moss. What type of stele do clubmosses have?
