This stained light micrograph shows a cross section through a plant organ frorn Hakea purpurea, a shrub native to some arid regionsof Australia. (a) Review Figures 35.14,35.17, and 35.18 to identify whether this is a root, stem, or leaf. Explain your reasoning. (b) How might this organ bean adaptation fordry conditions?

Nitrogen is a vital element for plant growth, yet plants (and most other organisms) cannot access it from atmospheric nitrogen. Explain why atmospheric nitrogen is inaccessible, and describe one natural (not artificial) way that plants have evolved to obtain nitrogenous compounds, including the specific plant structures involved.

a. For each experimental set up (geotropism and phototropism), identify the dependent and independent variables that have contributed to how plants responded to the stimuli.
How do you think the plant Artemisia vulgaris adapts to the sandy soil? Cite the key structural adaptations (ex. leaf or roots) and physiological mechanisms (ex. rolling of leaves) of adaptation of this plant.

- EVOLUTION LINK Like stems in general, some vines are herbaceous and others are woody. Tropical rain forests have a greater diversity of vines than in any other environment on Earth, and most of these vines are woody. Develop a hypothesis to explain why natural selection has favored the evolution of more species of woody vines (as opposed to herbaceous vines) in tropical rain forests.arrow_forwardThe transverse section of a plant material shows the following anatomicalfeatures - (a) the vascular bundles are conjoint, scattered and surrounded by a sclerenchymatous bundle sheaths. (b) phloem parenchyma is absent. Whatwill you identify it as?arrow_forwardObserve the root system of Zea mays under thr microscope (see image). QUESTIONS - Are there special features that you observed? - What do you call the roots present above the grounds? - How does this root differ from the other types of root system? - are there any special function/s of this root type?arrow_forward

Describehow seeds and otheradaptations in seedplants contributedto the rise of seedplants and theirdominant role in plantcommunities today.arrow_forwardsuppose you find a plant which has modified organs whivh organs at first,look like leaves,stems or roots.What features could you look for,on and around the organ.In order to decide whether it is modified leaf,stem and root?arrow_forwardAs plants grow, they tend to align theirstems and roots along the direction of the gravitational field. This tendency, which is related to differential concentrations of planthormones known as auxins, is referred to as gravitropism. As an illustration of gravitropism, experiments show that seedlings placed inpots on the rim of a rotating turntable do not grow in the verticaldirection. Do you expect their stems to tilt inward—toward the axisof rotation—or outward—away from the axis of rotation?arrow_forward
- I. Look for representative specimens of herbaceous dicot and monocot stem. The external parts that can be observed are nodes, internodes, leaf scar, lenticel, and buds (axillary and terminal). Examine and compare their external morphology by answering the questions below: 1.. What is the function of the lenticels? Do all stems have lenticels? 2. How can you differentiate a monocot plant from a dicot plant just by looking at the stem? 3. What advantage would herbaceous stems have over woody stems? 4. What advantage would woody stems have over herbaceous stems? II. Compare the internal anatomy of stems of xerophytes, mesophytes, and hydrophytes. Relate differences to the nature/habit of the different plants.arrow_forwardUsing Grime’s categorization of plant life history traits, why might ruderals spread via easily dispersed seeds, whereas stress tolerators spread vegetatively?arrow_forwardYou have heard that singing to plants helps them grow and wonder if there is any validity to thisclaim. So, you conduct an experiment using numerous plants to determine if being exposed tomusic has any effect on their growth. 16. Which of the following is an appropriate sequence of steps to follow when conducting an experiment tostudy the effects of music on plant growth?a) theory → experiment → question → conclusion → observationsb) hypothesis → question → observations → conclusion → theoryc) question → observations → hypothesis → experiment → conclusiond) question → theory → observations → experiment → conclusion 17. For this experiment, what would be the independent variable?a) music b) plant growth c) amount of water d) type of plant 18. For this experiment, each of the following would be an example of a standardized variable, except _____ .a) exposure to light b) species of plant c) type of music d) plant stem lengtharrow_forward
