🗑
What determines phyllotaxis?   Combination of classical and new model  
🗑
Classical model   Hormone inhibitor prevents formation of leaf primordia  
🗑

🗑
Sheath   Portion of leaf blade that wraps around stem for support  
🗑
Ligule   Keeps sheath from pulling apart  
🗑
Abaxial   Lower leaf surface  
🗑
Adaxial   Upper leaf surface  
🗑
Simple leaf   Blade in one piece  
🗑
Compound leaf   Blade broken into small units called leaflets  
🗑
What plants have reticulate or netted veins?   Eudicots and Magnoliids  
🗑
What plants have parallel veins?   Monocots  
🗑
Major veins   Primary and secondary veins, cause bulge in epidermis  
🗑
Minor veins   Tertiary and smaller veins  
🗑
How do major veins develop?   Upward and outward from base to tip  
🗑
How do minor veins develop?   From tip towards base  
🗑
What's the difference between a leaf and a leaflet?   Leaves have axillary buds at base, leaflets don't  
🗑
3 types of compound leaves   Palmately, pinnately, bi-pinnately  
🗑
Palmately compound   All leaflets originate from common point  
🗑
Petiolule   Stalk of leaflet  
🗑
Pinnately compound   Leaflets radiate out from central axis  
🗑
Rachis   Area of central axis between leaflets  
🗑
Bi-pinnately compound   Have secondary petiolule, secondary leaflet, and rachilla  
🗑
Rachilla   Area of central axis between secondary leaflets  
🗑
What is the dermal tissue in leaves?   Upper and lower epidermis  
🗑
What is the ground tissue in leaves?   Mesophyll and bundle sheath  
🗑
Mesophyll   All tissue between upper and lower epidermis  
🗑
4 characteristics of epidermis   Parenchyma cells, normally living at maturity, outer wall thickest, most lack chloroplast  
🗑
How is the epidermis different in xerophytes?   Have secondary cell wall and are dead at maturity  
🗑
Functions of epidermis   Prevent water loss, mechanical & chemical protection, support  
🗑
Remiform   Kidney shaped guard cells found in eudicots and Magnoliids  
🗑
Ostidform   Bone shaped guard cells found in monocots  
🗑
Anomocytic   Epidermis with no guard cells or stomates, found in aquatic plants  
🗑
Hypostomatic   Stomata on lower epidermis only  
🗑
Amphistomatic   Stomata on upper and lower epidermis  
🗑
Epistomatic   Stomata on upper epidermis only  
🗑
Astomatic   No stomata  
🗑
Hydrophytes   Guard cells found above, found in leaves on the water's surface  
🗑
Mesophytes   Guard cells found equal  
🗑
Xerophytes   Guard cells sunken below epidermis  
🗑
Stomata crypt   Cavity in leaves lined with trichomes and stomates to reduce water loss  
🗑
How do stomates open and close?   Increased water pressure in guard cells opens them, decreased pressure closes them  
🗑
Types of mesophyll   Palisade and spongy  
🗑
Palisade mesophyll   Elongated, primary site of photosynthesis, chlorenchyma with chloroplasts  
🗑
3 types of palisade mesophyll   Uniseriate, biseriate, triseriate  
🗑
Spongy mesophyll   From bottom of palisade to lower epidermis, irregular shape, loose, fewer and smaller chloroplasts  
🗑
Function of spongy mesophyll   Transport and sometimes storage  
🗑
Bundle sheath   Layer(s) of parenchyma cells around a vein, irregular shape, tightly packed  
🗑

🗑
Sun leaf vs shade leaf   Sun and shade leaves produce the same amount of sugars  
🗑
How does abscission happen?   Everything in leaf moved back into plant, IAA decreases, protective layer of suberin seals leaf off, abscission layer above suberin layer breaks down middle lamella with pectinase, severed leaf falls off
