- Modified leaves that enable a stem to climb are called __________, whereas modified leaves that cover the winter buds of a dormant woody plant are called __________. (a) spines; bud scales (b) bud scales; tendrils (c) tendrils; bud scales (d) tendrils; spines (e) carnivorous leaves; spinesarrow_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_forwardMake a labelled line diagram of the cross section of the leaf with the following labels: cuticle, adaxial epidermis, abaxial epidermis, primary xylem, primary phloem, collenchyma, bundle sheath, vascular cambium, stomata, mesophyll that consist of palisade and spongy parenchyma with intercellular spaces.arrow_forward
