  2.     Climbers
  3.     Trees
  4.     Shrubs
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Climbers
:
B
Plants with weak stems that take support on neighboring structures and climb up over them are called as climbers. Example: Grape vine.
Creepers, like climbers, have a weak stem too but they usually spread on the ground. Example: Pumpkin.
Question 82.


Which of the following attaches the leaf to the stem?


  1.     Lamina
  2.     Midrib
  3.     Veins
  4.     Petiole
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Petiole
:
D
The petiole is the stalk that connects leaf to the stem.
Lamina is the broad part of the leaf with venation.
The central vein in lamina is called the midrib.

Which Of The Following Attaches The Leaf To The Stem?


Question 83.


A thick vein present in the middle of the leaf is called ________ .


  1.     lamina
  2.     petiole
  3.     sepal
  4.     midrib
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> midrib
:
D
Midrib is the thickest vein present in the middle of the leaf. It separates the lamina into two parts in a dicot leaf. Smaller veins are observed radiating out from the midrib.

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> lamina
:
C
   Lamina is the broad part of the leaf. It has veins and veinlets arranged either in a parallel manner or reticulate manner.
   Important processes like photosynthesis, respiration occur here.
Question 87.

  1.     starch  
  2.     fats   
  3.     cellulose   
  4.     acids
