Fig. 1: Concept map showing different angiospermic parts.
Explanation:
The angiosperms are composed of the root system and the shoot system. The primary functions of the root system are the absorption of water and minerals storage of food along with anchoring the plant to the earth.
The shoot system is composed of the stem, leaves and flowers and sometimes some accessory structures such as thorns and tendrils that are modifications of the leaves. The leaves are composed of petioles and blades and the stems are made up of nodes and internodes.

- Create a table to compare and contrast the following sets of terms. The table should define each term and outline the significance of each for plant function. Monocot root system: Dicot root system Root hair: Lateral root Bundle sheath: Kranz anatomy Low specific leaf area: High specific leaf area Monopodial branching: Sympodial branchingarrow_forwardIdentify three major functions of roots. Describe two types of specialized stems. What is each type of stem specialized for? Discuss the main parts of an angiosperm leaf. Predict how the stem of a desert plant might be specialized for its environment. Contrast a taproot system with a fibrous root system. Relate leaf variation to environmental variation.arrow_forwardDescribe a modified structure and function of the following plant organs: Leaf - Stem - Root -arrow_forward
- Examine an image of longitudinal section through a Coleus stem tip. Draw the apical meristem, leaf primordia (developing leaf), bud primordia (developing axillary buds), nodes, and internodes. How many phytomeres are present in this preparation? Beginning with the apical meristem, follow the development of shoot tissues. Label protoderm, procambium, and ground meristem, pith, and cortex. You will not be able to identify any mature cells or tissues in this slide (keep in mind the size of the shoot tip).What are the mature tissues that each of these primary meristems become?arrow_forwardCompare monocots versus dicots in terms of root system, arrangement of vascular bundles, type of vascular bundle, leaf margin, leaf venation Point of Comparison Monocots Dicots Root System Arrangement of Vascular Bundles Type of Vascular bundle Leaf Margin Leaf Venationarrow_forwardCompare monocot, herbaceous dicot and woody dicot stems. Indicate presence or absence of the indicated plant parts or provide a brief description of each.

- The model is what stem: Monocot or Eudicot Label A-E as the following: -Vascular bundle -Xylem -Ground tissue -Phloem -Epidermisarrow_forwardSketch and label the primary, secondary and tertiary roots of a typical dicot plant.arrow_forwardMatch A, B, C, D,E with the following: -zone of division -apical meristem -zone of maturation -root cap -zone of elongationarrow_forward
- Create a table to compare and contrast the following sets of terms. The table should define each term and outline the significance of each for plant function. Monocot root system: Dicot root system Root hair: Lateral root Bundle sheath: Kranz anatomyarrow_forwardExamine the shoot system of a mature plant (Coleus blumei). Identify the shoot tip, nodes, internodes, leaves, and axillary buds. Each unit of stem that consists of a leaf, axillary bud and internode is referred to as a phytomere. Note that axillary buds always occur above a leaf. Axillary buds give rise to branch shoots. Thus, branching in a shoot system is exogenous (of external origin). How does this compare to branching in a root system?arrow_forwardRelate the use of the word “lumot”, to the origin, taxonomy and classification of plants. How useful is the term in giving information about the nature and characteristics of the organisms being referred to as “lumot”?arrow_forward
