Soil Ecosystem

Soil provides a habitat or living environment for a large number of different species of organisms as well as plants. It provides all the essential nutrients and minerals for plants to grow. All these together form the soil ecosystem.

Question

. Compare the leaf structure of Potamogeton to Ligustrum.
Look for stomata. Where are they located? On the upper or lower leaf surface?
Does Potamogeton have sunken stomata or leaf hairs?

Look at the area beneath the upper epidermis and compare it to the Ligustrum and Nerium leaves. How does it differ? What value does this have for the plant?
How does the appearance of each tissue layer in Potamogeton differ from Ligustrum?
Compare the upper epidermis to the lower epidermis. Compare the amount of cuticle.
Compare the organization of the mesophyll cells to those in Ligustrum.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Potamogeton produces submerged and floating types of leaves. Floating leaves are thick, opaque, and occur on the surface of the water while submerged leaves sometimes decay due to mechanical damage.
