6) In many monocots such as grasses and irises, foliage leaves have a shape quite different from that of eudicot leaves. They lack a petiole and instead have a _______ which almost completely encircles the shoot apical meristem. It is made up of _______ cells. Primordium; Apical meristem

7) If a leaf has a blade that consists of one part, we say the leaf is ___________. If the blade consists of several individual parts, however, we say it is a _________ leaf. Simple; Compound

10) There are two types of venation in the leaves of flowering plants. Describe the type found in eudicot leaves. Describe the type in monocot leaves. Eudicots have netted pattern of veins called Reticulate venation. Monocots with long, strap-shaped leaves, the larger veins run side by side with few obvious interconnections have Parallel venation.

12) In what ways does the upper epidermis of a leaf differ from the lower epidermis? The palisade mesophyll (Upper epidermis) is the main photosynthetic tissue of the plant. It is often only one layer thick, but in regions with intense penetrating sunlight, it may be three or four layers thick. The spongy mesophyll (lower epidermis) is usually open, has loose aerenchyma that permits carbon dioxide to diffuse rapidly away from stomata into all parts of leafs interior.

16) What is a bundle sheath in a leaf? A set of cells, which may be parenchyma, collenchyma, or sclerenchyma, that encases some or all of the vascular bundles of a leaf.
