tendrils are long slender thread like structures that wrap around nearby stem for support

47
Q

examples of stem tendrils

A

grape vine, gourds( watermelon, cucumber, pumpkin)

48
Q

describe thorns

A

axillary buds modify and lose their ability to grow and form pointed woody structures called thorns ; they prevent browsing animals to feed on the plants

49
Q

examples lf thorns

A

citrus and Bougainvillea

50
Q

sub-aerial weak stem is divided into

A

suckers, runners, offsets, stolons

51
Q

describe offsets

A

the stem grows laterally and bear internodes, and nodes, an offset/rosette of leave grow from the nodes and a tuft of roots below the stem

52
Q

examples of offsets

A

pistia, eichhornia

53
Q

describe suckers

A

stem grows laterally and branches grow under the soil to some distance and then grow out obliquely to form aerial branches

54
Q

examples of suckers

A

banana, Pineapple, chrysanthemum

55
Q

describe runners

A

the lateral branch is elongated and prostate and has internodes and roots at nodes

56
Q

examples of runners

A

grass, oxalis

57
Q

describe stolon

A

the lateral branch arises from main stem and grows above the soil flr some distance and then touches the groun

58
Q

examples of stolons

A

mint, jasmine

59
Q

describe aerial stem

A

plants in arid region modify stem to form flattened structures or fleshy cylindrical structures

60
Q

exampf aerial stem

A

flattened structures ( opuntia), fleshy cylindrical structures (, euphorbia) phylliclade

61
Q

describe leaf

A

lateral, flattened, bears bud, arises from shoot apical meristem, arranged in acropetal arrangement on stem

leaf

63
Q

leaf consists of

A

Q

types of leaves

A

simple, compound, palmately compound

78
Q

simple leaf

A

when incised, the incisions do not touch midrib

79
Q

compound leave are of two types

A

pinnately compound, palmately compound

80
Q

pinnately compound leaf ; examples

A

midrib forms common axis called rachis ; neem

81
Q

palmately compound leaf ; examples

A

leaflets are attached to common point and form cluster; silk cotton

82
Q

phyllotaxy is

A

pattern in which leaves are arranged on the stem

83
Q

alternate phyllotaxy ; examples

A

leaves are present in an alternate fashion with one leave on each bud ; china rose(shoeflower), mustard, sunflower

84
Q

opposite phyllotaxy; examples

A

a pair of leaves arise from both sides of bud and opposite sides ; guava, calotropis

85
Q

whorled phyllotaxy

A

more than two leaves arise at each node and form a whorl ; alstonia, nerium

86
Q

modifications of leaves

A

leaf tendrils, spines, storage organ, phyllodes

87
Q

leaf tendrils; examples

A

leafs modify to form thin threadlike slender tendrils that coil around a support ; pea, sweet pea

88
