A

All r correct.

Pg 69 ncert

40
Q

Most imp. Vegetative organs for photosynthesis are

A

Leaves

41
Q

Typical leaf consists of ______ parts?

A

3 parts: leaf base, petiole, lamina.

42
Q

Leaf is attached to stem by

A

Leaf base

43
Q

Stipules are

A

2 lateral small leaf like structures near leaf base.

44
Q

In ________, leaf base expands into a sheath covering the stem partially or wholly.

A

Monocotyledons

45
Q

Pulvinus is seen in

A

Some leguminous plants.

Ncert pg 70: in some leguminous plants the leafbase may become swollen c/d pulvinus

46
Q

Swollen leaf base is termed

A

Pulvinus

47
Q

Functions of petiole are:

A

Holds the blade to light.
Long thin flexible petiole allows leaf blades to flutter in wind, therby cooling the leaf & bringing fresh air to leaf surface.

48
Q

Green expanded part of leaf with veins & veinlets.

Usually a middle prominant vein occurs k/a midrib.

49
Q

Veins in leaves provide

A

Rigidity to leaf blade, acts as channels for transport of water, minerals and food materials.

50
Q

Venation?

A

Arrangement of veins & veinlets in the lamina of leaf.

51
Q

Reticulate venation

A

Veins form a network.

Dicots generally possess reticulate venation.

52
Q

Parallel venation

A

Veins run parallel to each other within lamina.

Characteristic of most monocots.

53
Q

Simple leaf

A

Lamina is entire, or if incised, incisions do not touch midrib.

54
Q

Compound leaf

A

Incisions reach midrib, dividing it into no. Of leaflets.

55
Q

Choose correct?

  1. Bud is present in the axil of petiole in both simple & compound leaf.
  2. Not in the axil of leaflets of cmpd leaf.
A

Both are correct.

56
Q

A

Pinnately cmpd & palmately cmpd leaf

57
Q

Pinnately cmpd leaf occurs in

A

Neem

58
Q

Palmately cmpd leaf occurs in

A

Silk cotton plant.

59
Q

Leaflets r attached to common point in _______ leaf & no. Of leaflets r present on common axis (rachis) in ______ leaf.

A

Palmately cmpd leaf.

On rachis in pinnately cmpd leaf.

60
