Worksheet on stem system contains various types of questions.

Remember the important information to the answer the questions given below.

Leaf lamina: Flat extended portion of a leaf.

Petiole: Small stick like portion that holds the lamina on the stem.

Petiolate leaf: The leaf having a petiole

Sessile leaf: A leaf without petiole.

Venation: The arrangement of veins on a leaf lamina.

Reticulate venation: The venation, where the veins are arranged in the form of a complex network.

Parallel venation: The venation, where the veins are arranged parallely.

Stipule: Small leaf-like structure present commonly in pair at the base of a petiole.

Simple leaf: A leaf, where a single lamina is present on a petiole.

Compound leaf: A leaf, where lamina divides into a number of small leaflets.

Chlorophyll: A green pigment, present in chloroplast of a plant cell, which takes part in photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis: The process by which green plants synthesize glucose within their body by the combination of water and carbon dioxide in presence of sunlight with the help of chlorophyll.

Stomata: Minute pores present on the surface of leaf lamina.

Transpiration: The process by which plants get rid of excess water from its body in the form of water vapour.
