Reproductive shoot (flower) Apical bud Node Internode Apical bud Vegetative shoot Leaf Blade Petiole Axillary bud Stem Taproot Lateral (branch) roots Shoot system Root system Which parts of the plant are typically considered determinate structures? (fig above) a) stems & leaves b) leaf blades, petioles, internodes & the structures of the flower c) the axillary buds & apical tips of the lateral roots d) just the leaves
Sri K.
Consider at least one whole plant food, and identify as many parts of that plant as you can think of, noting any differences in what those parts are called in everyday life vs. botany. For example: A green pea plant (like any flowering plant / angiosperm) includes roots, stems, leaves, and fruits...except we usually call the biological fruit a "vegetable" since it's not as sweet and fleshy as the "fruits" we usually talk about. The actual "peas" in the pod are the seeds, and those with the entire pod is the "fruit." Humans also eat nearly the whole pea plant itself including its stems and leaves when they eat the immature "pea shoots." In another example, I can say that carrots include the root (and stems / leaves) which are all edible. Not as often eaten are the mature fruits / seeds, though.

1. A plant body consists of the root system and the shoot system. 2. Grasses have fibrous roots. 3. The portion of the stem between two nodes is called an internode. 4. The wide, flat portion of the leaf is called the blade. 5. Leaves arise from buds. 6. The main functions of the leaf are photosynthesis, gaseous exchange, and transpiration. 7. In a compound leaf, the blade is divided into many leaflets. 8. A bud arising from the axil of a leaf is called an axillary bud. 9. The individual parts of the calyx are called sepals. 10. Each flower of an inflorescence is called a floret. 11. When pollen grains pollinate the stigma of the same flower, the process is called self-pollination. 12. After fertilization, the ovary is transformed into the fruit. 13. The seeds develop from the ovule. 14. A fruit has two parts - pericarp and seed.
