Study Notes
Leaf Types
- Leaf types include simple, compound, and modified leaves
- Simple leaves have a single blade, while compound leaves have multiple leaflets
- Modified leaves have altered forms, such as tendrils or spines
Venation Types
- Venation types include unicostate, multicostate, and parallel venation
- Unicostate venation has a single midvein, while multicostate venation has multiple veins
- Parallel venation has veins that run parallel to each other
Phyllotaxis Types
- Phyllotaxis types include alternate, opposite, whorled, and spiral arrangements
- Alternate arrangement has leaves attached in an alternating pattern
- Opposite arrangement has leaves attached in pairs on either side of the stem
- Whorled arrangement has leaves attached in a circular pattern
- Spiral arrangement has leaves attached in a spiral pattern around the stem
Internal Leaf Anatomy
- Internal leaf anatomy includes terms such as cuticle, epidermis, and mesophyll
- Cuticle is a waxy outer layer, epidermis is the outer cell layer, and mesophyll is the inner tissue
- Mesophyll is divided into palisade and spongy tissue
Root System Types
- Root system types include taproot, fibrous, and adventitious roots
- Taproot is a single, dominant root, while fibrous roots are multiple, branching roots
- Adventitious roots are roots that arise from stems or leaves
Root System Functions
- Functions of the root system include absorption, anchorage, and storage
- Absorption involves taking in water and nutrients, anchorage provides stability
- Storage involves storing food and nutrients
Root System Structures
- Structures in the root system include root hairs, root cap, and xylem
- Root hairs increase surface area for absorption, root cap protects the root tip
- Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals
