20
Q

Leaf Terminology - Type
-Simple: ____________/ blade attached to the __________-
-Compound: more than 1 leaf/blade attached to the petiole

What is a petiole?

A

1 leaf/ blade
petiole

21
Q

Leaf Terminology - Type
Petiole:
-connection to _____________
-the location of ___________

So to determine what is the petiole:
-locate the axillary buds
-the bud tells you that where the stem connects to the petiole

A

the stem
axillary buds

22
Q

Sessile Plants
_________ petioles
- direct stem attachment

A

no

23
Q

Stem v Petiole?
Look for _________
-tells you what is stem and what is petiole
-only form at ____________
-not at base of leaflets
-node: where petiole ______________

Then count how many blades are attached to petiole
-____________=simple
-____________= compound

A

axillary buds
base of petiole
attaches to stem
1
more than 1

24
Q

Leaf Terminology- type: simple
1 leaf/blade attached to the petiole =______________

A

simple

25
Q

Leaf Terminology- Type: compound
More than 1 leaf/blade attached to the petiole =_____________

A

compound

26
Q

Leaf Terminology - Compound
Types of compound leaves:
-palmate- like the palm of your hand
-pinnate (paired)

*anytime you classify a leaf as compound you ALSO need to say if it is a palmate or pinnate

27
Q

*Leaf Terminology- Arrangement

Arrangement is determined by how petioles are attached to stem
-alternate
-opposite
-whorled

A
28
Q

Leaf Terminology- Arrangement
Don’t get fooled and assume that arrangement is about leaves. It is about petioles!
