37
Q

three types NETTED VENATION

A

pinnately netted
radiately netted
palmately netted

38
Q

-also called reticulate venation
-branching of the veins

A

NETTED VENATION

39
Q

principal veins arise
from the base of the blade

A

palmately netted

40
Q

veins arise from the
midrib

A

pinnately netted

41
Q

principal veins arise
form the center of the blade

A

radiately netted

42
Q

different types
PARALLEL VENATION

A

parallel to the midrib
palmately parallel
acute angle to the midrib
perpendicular to the midrib

43
Q

one direction of veins

A

PARALLEL VENATION

44
Q
  • With cutin
  • Flat epidermal cells, with guard cells,
    trichomes
  • High # stomata in lower epidermis
45
Q

prevents rapid air movement, prevents water
loss from stomata; protection

A

Trichomes (glandular or non-glandular)

46
Q
  • kidney-shaped, chlorophyllous epidermal cells
A

GUARD CELLS

47
Q
  • areas where epidermis is depressed into the
    leaf
  • filled w/ trichomes & stomata, at lower surface
    of leaf
  • decrease air movement near stomata to
    prevent water from evaporating
A

STOMATAL CRYPTS

47
Q
  • Ground tissues interior to the leaf epidermis
  • Has two parts: palisade parenchyma and
    spongy mesophyll
48
Q
  • Uppermost, main photosynthetic tissue
  • 1 layer thick, cells are separated, increases
    exposure to CO2
A

PALISADE PARENCHYMA

49
Q
  • Open, loose aerenchyma that permits CO2 to
    diffuse rapidly from stomata into all parts of leaf
A

SPONGY MESOPHYLL

50
Q
  • Between palisade and spongy mesophyll
A

VASCULAR TISSUE

51
Q
  • important in releasing water from xylem and
    loading sugar into phloem
A

MINOR VEINS

52
Q
  • fibers arranged as a sheath around the
    vascular tissue
A

BUNDLE SHEATHS

53
Q
  • mass of fibers above or below (or both) the
    veins
A

BUNDLE SHEATH EXTENSION

53
Q

gives rigidity and additional means by
which water moves from the bundle out to the
mesophyll

54
Q
  • Serves as transition between the stem and the
    leaf blade
54
Q

similar to that on the lamina but
often contains fewer stomata and trichomes

55
Q

may bears two small flaps of tissue at its base

56
Q
  • vascular bundles which exit the stem and diverge to
    the petiole
A

LEAF TRACES

57
Q
  • detachment area of leaves from the stem;
    releases enzymes w/c weaken their walls
A

ABSCISSION ZONE

58
Q
  • leaf aging due to breakdown of chlorophyll,
    sugars and loss of photosynthetic ability
A

SENESCENCE

59
Q
  • protective scar tissue across wound after leaf
    fa
60
Q
  • thick and fleshy, reduced surface-to-volume
    ratio
  • with water storage parenchyma
A

SUCCULENT LEAVES

61
Q

have few intercellular spaces
=↓evaporative surface area = transparent

A

Mesophylls

62
Q
  • pair of succulent leaves
A

DINTERANTHUS

62
Q
  • spherical succulent leaves
63
Q
  • pair of translucent leaves acting as optical
    fiber, allows light to enter, even leaves are
    underground
64
Q
  • Thick sclerenchyma = resistant to animals,
    fungi, freezing temp and UV
  • Very thick cuticle
  • Lives for 2 or more years
  • Sclerophylls - leaves
A

SCLEROPHYLLOUS FOLIAGE

65
Q
  • leaf blade curl
  • ex. Sundew that has glandular trichomes that
    secretes a sticky digestive fluid) or close (ex.
    Venus flytrap that has motor cells, margins with
    interdigitating teeth and short glands that
    secrete digestive fluid)
    o other example: Drosera - sundrew
A

ACTIVE TRAP

66
Q

Contains cells that can sense contact with other
objects
* side facing the object stop growing, then, the other
side elongate — coil
* no lamina
* Support

67
Q
  • digest insects and obtain nitrogen for their
    amino acid and nucleotides
A

INSECT TRAPS

67
Q
  • Leaves are sclerophylls
  • extremely thick cuticle and the cells of
    epidermis have thick walls
A

LEAVES OF CONIFER

68
Q

occur in all pines, firs, and
spruces

68
Q

Agathis, Araucaria, and
Podocarpus

A

Scale-like

69
Q
  • incapable of movement
  • ex. Pitcher plant that has tubular lamina that
    secretes water digestive fluid
A

PASSIVE TRAP

70
Q
  • One of the most common modification of
    leaves
  • Forms to protect dormant shoot apical
    meristems by forming a tight layer around the
    stem tip
  • small and rarely compound
  • petiole is either short or absent
  • frequently produce a thin layer of corky bark
A

BUD SCALES

70
Q
  • Produce plantlets
A

ADVENTITIOUS BUDS / REPRODUCTIVE
LEAVES

71
Q
  • For attraction
  • Examples:
    o Poinsettia
    o Mussaenda
    o Bougainvillea
    Anthurium – colored spathe
A

COLORED LEAVES

72
Q
  • Aerenchymatous leaf base for buoyancy and
    support
73
Q
  • Supporting leaf bases
  • For support
A

PSEUDOTRUNKS

74
Q
  • display “thigmonasty” or sensitivity to touch for
    protection
A

MOTILE LEAVES

75
Q

tropic response to
touch

A

Thigmotropic response –

76
Q
  • For added photosynthesis
A
