Test: Roots, Stems and Leaves - 3 - Question 8

Function of stem is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Roots, Stems and Leaves - 3 - Question 8

Functions of Stem:

  • It supports and holds leaves, flowers, and fruits.
  • The stem allows the leaves to arrange in a way that they are able to receive direct sunlight in order to efficiently perform photosynthesis. The arrangement and position of leaves also allow for gas exchange.
  • The xylem and phloem present in the vascular bundles of stems conduct water and minerals across the plant.
  • Stems bear flowers and fruits in a position that facilitates the processes of pollination, fertilization, and dispersion of seeds.
  • Some stems undergo modification to store food and water.
    Example: Succulents
  • Few green stems contain chloroplasts and are capable of carrying out photosynthesis as well.
  • Some stems are modified to carry out vegetative propagation which is a form of asexual reproduction seen in plants.

In roots, the root hairs arise from zone of maturation. This zone is a differentiated zone. The function of root hairs is to collect water and mineral nutrients present in the soil and take this solution up through the roots to the rest of the plant. As root hair cells do not carry out photosynthesis, they do not contain chloroplasts.

The floral organs arise from:

Detailed Solution for Test: Roots, Stems and Leaves - 3 - Question 23

The thalamus or the receptacle is the condensed structure on the pedicle from which the floral organs arise. The thalamus typically has the nodes and internodes but the internodes are highly condensed or reduced. 

(A) Mother axis is the branch that bears the inflorescence or the flower.

(B) Thalamus (also called torus) is the axis of the floral shoot which is the direct prolongation of the pedicel and bears four sets of floral members.

(C) Root is the vegetative structure that arises from the radicle.

(D) Pedicel is the stalk that has thalamus at the end. It bears the flowers. It is attached to the mother axis.

Hence, option B is correct.

The androecium is the third whorl of a flower whose individual unit is called the stamen. It is the male reproductive organ whorl.

(A) Anthers are the parts of the stamen in which pollen grains are formed.
(B) Stamens are the male reproductive structures, collectively called the androecium.
(C) Filaments are the parts of stamens that connect the anthers to the thalamus.
(D) Tepals are the units of the whorl called the perianth.
