Chapter 22, Problem 9WIO
Summary Introduction
To draw:
A diagram that includes petiole axillary bud, leaf, node and internodes.
Concept introduction:
A leaf is an outgrowth that grows from a stem. It is a flattened structure. It is a site for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which the green parts of the plants make food in the presence of solar energy. This chlorophyll is present in structures called thylakoids which are in turn present in an empty cavity called grana. Depending on the leaf blades leaf can be classified into a simple leaf that has a single blade and a compound leaf that have several leaflets.

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?

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.
