Type of stem

Woody and herbaceous

These are usually perennial plants

whose stems and larger roots are

reinforced with ____ produced

from secondary xylem.

Woody

Soft and flexible and are found

typically on annuals, such as most

vegetables, plants that grow for only

one season.

Herbaceous

Stem Arrangement

Alternate, Opposite, Whorled

connect to the stem

one at a time.

Alternate arrangement

connect to the stem in

pairs.

Opposite arrangement

connect to the stem in

groups, making a

_____.

Whorled arrangement

Secondary veins bending toward apex

Arcuate

Small veins connecting secondary veins

Cross-Venulate

Veins branching symmetrically in pairs

Dichotomous

Veins aligned mostly along long axis of leaf

Longitudinal

Several primary veins diverging from a point

Palmate

Veins arranged axially, not intersecting

Parallel

Secondary veins paired oppositely

Pinnate

Small veins forming a network

Reticulate

In peltate leaves, veins radiating

Rotate

It refers to fruits that form a lot of

flesh(pulp) and are attractive as an

edible product for all kinds of organisms

except carnivores. To spread the seeds to

different parts and to reduce local

competition, plants intend to make fruits

attractive.

Fleshy

From a naturally occurring fruit, the majority of

the moisture content has been taken away by

specialized dryers and dehydrators.

Dry

Flowers usually have numerous sepals,

petals, stamens and pistils.

Simple flowers

Their sepals are really bracts, modified leaves,

and often are layered. Their "petals" are in fact

individual flowers (ray flowers) which also have

stamens and pistils and their heads (disk flowers)

are made up of many tiny individual flowers,

each of which produce their own seeds.

Compound flowers
