Anatomy of flowering plants: Tissue systems

Introduction: Petals are modified leaves that encase the reproductive of a flower. They are usually brightly coloured or oddly shaped to attract pollinators. The corolla is the aggregate name for all of a flower’s petals. Petals are typically accompanied by a bunch of modified leaves known as sepals, which form the calyx and are positioned […]

A flower contains the subsequent parts- Calyx: outermost whorl of a flower. It contains units known as sepals, within the bud stage, petall encloses the remainder of the flower. They typically exhibit inexperienced colouration, at other instances, they are colored like florals. This state of petal is termed as floral leaf.  Corolla: It consists of

A tree’s xylem derives from the Greek word xylon, which means wood. Xylem is a form of vascular tissue found in plants that is largely responsible for transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the stem and leaves of the plant. They also help to strengthen the mechanical strength of the plants. There are

In botany, we can say that a whorl is a circular type arrangement of parts of a plant for example leaves or flowers that wrap up around a point on a particular axis (vertical). A complete leaf whorl typically consists of a minimum of three elements. However, a pair of leaves emerging from the opposite

A whorl is a ring of cells or tissue that surrounds and wraps itself around another in a circular pattern. Whorls can be found at the ends or in the middle of various structures. Some organ structures are described as whorls and utilised to aid in identification. A whorl-shaped structure is the Hassall’s corpuscle, which

Taxonomy is a very crucial branch of biology that classifies all living organisms. It is highly important from a biological point of view as it helps to categorize and organize living organisms. It was developed by noted Swedish biologist Carolus Linnaeus, who developed this system of classification in the 18th century, and such was its

An object with a scalloped or round-toothed edge is referred to as crenation. Crenatus comes from the Latin word crenatus, which means “scalloped or notched.’ Crenation is a term used in biology and zoology to describe what occurs to a cell or other item when it is exposed to a hypertonic solution. It is also

A lipid is an insoluble material in water but soluble in ether, alcohol, and chloroform.  Lipids act as a source of energy and are a necessary component of cell structure. Lipoproteins, glycolipids, and phospholipids are examples of compound lipids. Excess carbohydrates in the diet are converted to triglycerides in the endoplasmic reticulum, which involves the

The seeds of some plants have rocky shells that make it difficult, if not impossible, for moisture to penetrate the seeds. Such seeds will not germinate without human help. In the wild, common rodents bite seeds, and their sharp teeth can weaken shells that are hard enough for protected embryos to absorb water. All chopping

Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within a cell’s cytoplasm that serve various functions. In mature plant cells, large vacuoles serve an important role in structural support and activities such as storage, illegal dumping, preservation, and growth. Many plant cells feature a single big central vacuole that takes up most of the cell’s space (80 percent or
