What to Focus On

  • Midrib: central vein of the leaf
  • Simple leaf: lamina is undivided
  • Compound leaf: lamina is divided into leaflets
  • Leaflets are attached to a rachis in compound leaves
  • Reticulate venation: net-like pattern, found in dicots
  • Parallel venation: veins run parallel, found in monocots
  • Venation supports the leaf and helps in transport

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All flat green parts of a plant are simple leaves.

Photosynthesis only happens in the stem.

Transpiration is harmful because it wastes water.
