When leaves fall off in autumn, what happens to the plant?

A

leaf scar forms

37
Q

How can you determine the age of a twig?

A

counting the intervals between the terminal bud scars

38
Q

What are lenticels?

A

loose places in bark though which gas can diffuse

39
Q

Describe opposite leaves.

A

two leaves attached at each node

40

Describe alternate leaves.

A

one leaf attached at each node, in spiral or other arrangement on stem

41
Q

A

more than 2 leaves attached at each node

42
Q

Describe basal rosette.

A

several leaves attached at base of stem

43
Q

What is the blade?

A

flat expanded portion

44
Q

What is the petiole?

A

stalk of leaf

45
Q

What are stipules?

A

two smaller flat green structures attached near their base

46
Q

What is considered a simple leaf?

A

one leaf with one blade

47
Q

What is considered a compound leaf?

A

leaf divided into separate blades, parts called leaflets

48
Q

What is a simple lobed leaf?

A

one blade has arms (lobes)

49
Q

What is a pinnately compound leaf?

A

leaflets arranged like a feather

50
Q

What is a palmately compound leaf?

A

all leaflets are attached at same point

51
Q

What is a trifoliate leaf?

A

3 leaflets

52
Q

What is a bipinnately compound leaf?

A

leaflets divided into subleaflets

53
Q

What are parallel veins?

A

main veins are parallel in monocots

54
Q

What are pinnate veins?

A

secondary veins branch from primary (main) vein, in eudicots

55
Q

What are palmate veins?

A

all main veins arise at base of bade, found in some eudicots

56
Q

What are dichotomous veins?

A

veins repetitively branch into 2 parts, unusual arrangement

57
Q

How are eudicot stem?

A

contain cylinder of vascular bundles, containing xylem to inside and phloem to outside, cells toward center from this cylinder are called pith, cells to outside called cortex, pith and cortex both made predominately of parenchyma cells, involved in storage, outermost ring of cells around stem called epidermis; within each vascular bundle, ring of undifferentiated cells exists between xylem and phloem, vascular cambium will divide producing secondary xylem (wood) to inside and secondary phloem (part of bark) to outside, this tissue is part of secondary growth

58
Q

How are monocot stems?

A

scattered vascular bundles in their stems, each with xylem and phloem, vascular bundles usually surrounded by fibers that help in support of stem

59
Q

What is secondary growth?

A

thickening of stems and roots that occurs in some species, most of thickening comes form vascular cambium, a ring of mitotic cells

60
Q

What is the vascular cambium?

A

produces secondary xylem (wood) to inside and secondary phloem to outside

61
Q

What are plants that produce no (or very little) secondary tissue called?

A

herbaceous plants

62
Q

What are plants called that produce secondary tissue called?

A

woody plants

Q

What is a woody plant with one trunk called?

A

a tree

64
Q

What is a woody plant with several stems called?
