Task 3a

This fruit is known as collective fruit whereby the fruit generated from a cluster of fruiting
flowers, known as an inflorescence. Each bloom in the inflorescence generates a fruit, however,
they develop into a single mass with each flower producing a genuine fruit.The many small
flowers are unseen unless the fig is cut open.

Stomata location
The stomata are on the underside of the
leaf. The side of the leaf has no stomata, the
openings responsible for gas exchange with
the air.
The stomata of water lilies are on the
upper surface of their leaves, maximizing
air exposure.

Task4c

The upper palisade parenchyma in the Sunflower plant (Dicot leaves) is closely packed to
meet the heat of the sun. Vascular tissues are highly adapted to accommodate their continuous
lifestyle and require mechanical support from wind and other causes. Stomata are only present
on the bottom surface to decrease transpiration.

The maize plant's mesophyll (monocot leaves) is composed of spongy parenchyma with many
air gaps. These plants are primarily annuals that dwell in water or require more water to survive.

Monocotyledonous plants, better than dicotyledonous plants that allow effective

photosynthesis in the plant in xeric environments. This is because monocots have more genes
that have been transferred from the chloroplast to the nucleolus, that resulting in a smaller
chloroplast genome and better-controlled photosynthesis. When the C4 photosynthetic carbon
cycle is included as a mechanism, average monocots are more adaptable to varied and severe
environments than average dicots.
