Across
- 1. the tissues between upper and lower epidermis.
- 3. the leaf stalk; holds the blade out into the light and minimize shading of flowers and other leaves
- 6. a leaf without petiole
- 11. a set of cells, which may be parenchyma collenchyma or sclerenchyma, that surround vascular bundles of a leaf
- 13. outgrowth at the junction of the sheath and blade maybe present and are collectively called as
- 14. the expanded, light-harvesting and CO2-absorbing part of a leaf.
- 16. systems of leaf arrangement on the stem
- 18. part of foliage leaf that is more prominent on the abaxial or lower side of leaves.
- 20. evaporation of water through the stomata or cuticle
- 22. leaves without stipule
- 24. leaf structure where the blade is divided into separate segments called leaflets.
- 25. pattern of venation of many monocots.
Down
- 2. stalk of each leaflet
- 4. are attached to the stem and together, they form the shoot of the plant.
- 5. formed by adjacent undamaged cells that swell and become corky
- 7. two small flaps of tissue at the base of petioles; protects shoot apical meristem while shoot is still young and small
- 8. zone at the base of a leaf, containing specialized cells that release enzymes results in the separation of the leaves
- 9. compound leaves where leaflets are attached into rachs which is the extension of petiole
- 10. plant cells located on the leaves, right below the epidermis and cuticle. In simpler terms, they are known as leaf cells.
- 12. compound leaves where leafletsradiate from upper end or tip of the leaf stalk
- 15. usually consists of a single layer of parenchyma cells,translucent to allow light to pass through
- 16. blade is divided into segment and are called
- 17. example of a plant that has no abscission zone, dead leaves remain on the plant until they decompose.
- 19. usually in pairs and found at the base of petiotule
- 21. pattern of venation in basal angiosperms and eudicots
- 23. leaf structure where the blade consists of only one piece
