Course: SLF 160 Plant Propagation

Unit 1 Lab Assignment

Photos of Plant Parts (30 points)

During this week you were introduced to some basic, but essential, terms in plant biology. The most familiar are leaves, stems and roots. The assignment for this lab is to deliver images based on the terminology from our readings this week.

For this lab provide photographic examples for the following structure types:

1. internode
2. vascular tissue (Note that a pocket knife may come in handy to get this image.)
3. apex
4. leaf of a monocot
5. aster type flower structure

A report should accompany each photo that identifies:

- The name of the plant (both common and scientific).
- The name of the structure listed.
- The location of where the plant was found.
- Any other interesting notes you’d like to share about the plant.

Save your photos and report in a document on your computer, and submit it via the Dropbox found on the course home page.
