Answer 4

a short stem with fleshy leaves or leaf bases

Question 4

Internodes

Answer 4

A section or part between two nodes, as of a nerve or stem.

Question 5

Bundle Scar

Answer 5

markings within a leaf scar at the location where vascular bundles were broken as the leaf petiole detached from the twig.

Question 5

What is a leaf scar?

Answer 5

The mark left on a twig after a leaf falls

Question 6

Collenchyma

Answer 6

A type of ground tissue that provides flexible support like the fibers in celery.

Question 6

What is a leaf?

Answer 6

Typically a leaf is a thin, flattened organ borne above ground and specialized for photosynthesis, but many types of leaves are adapted in ways almost unrecognisable in those terms: some are not flat (for example many succulent leaves and conifers), some are not above ground (such as bulb scales), and some are without major photosynthetic function (consider for example cataphylls, spines, and cotyledons).

What are Nodes?

Answer 19

The point on a stem where a leaf is attached or has been attached.

Question 20

What is Parenchyma?

Answer 20

Parenchyma is one of the simple tissues in plants. It is the tissue that makes up most of the soft primary growth of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. In anatomy, parenchyma means the bulk of the organ.
