  1. QUIZ Diagram 2

  2. Plant Structure: Leaves • Organs attached to stems of vascular plants • Plant leaves • Usually site of photosynthesis • Today... • Leaf structure • Types of leaves • Leaf arrangements • Types of leaf venation • Internal leaf anatomy • Types of modified leaves

  3. Petiole = leaf stalk • Blade = flattened portion of leaf • Stipules = leaf-like tissue attached to base of petiole Plant Structure: Leaves • Leaf structure

  4. Plant Structure: Leaves • Simple = blade not divided into smaller leaflets • Compound = blade divided into smaller parts that look like small leaves (but lack axillary buds) • Type of leaves

  5. Parallel = veins run roughly parallel to midrib • Palmate = veins arise from common point of origin at base of midrib (above petiole) • Pinnate = veins project laterally on either side of midrib Plant Structure: Leaves • Monocots such as Families Agavaceae and Orchidaceae • Type of leaf venation • Palmate and pinnate occur in dicots such as Families Moraceae and Euphorbiaceae

  6. Plant Structure: Leaves • Alternate = leaves occur at nodes singly • Opposite = leaves occur at nodes in pairs • Type of leaf arrangements (on stem) • Whorled = more than 2 leaves at each node

  7. Plant Structure: Leaves • Cuticle • Epidermis • Internal leaf anatomy • Pallisade cells • Spongy mesophyll • Stomata • Guard cells • Xylem & phloem

  8. Plant Structure: Leaves • Stomata = pores in epidermis used for gas exchange • CO2 into cell for photosynthesis • Stomata • H2O out of leaf by evaporation to facilitate transpiration (process by which water pulled up plant) • Guard cells = epidermal cells that open and close stomata • Stomata open when guard cells swell with water • Stomata close when guard cells collapse together (shrivel)

  9. Plant Structure: Leaves • Bulb leaves = leaves wrapped around short, swollen stem of bulb (e.g. onion) • Types of modified leaves • Bracts = large, colorful leaves surrounding flowers (e.g. poinsettas) • Spines = sharp projections (e.g. cacti) • Insectivorous leaves = leaves designed to trap insect (e.g. venus flytrap)
