Question

Give the midrib of leaf is damaged will the leaf survive

Answer 1

No, the water that observes by the roots sent to cells of the plant by midrib and the glucose prepared during photosynthesis sent to all parts of plant through midrib so, due to absence of water the plant may die.

Answer 2

If the midrib of a leaf is damaged, the leaf will not survive.

A leaf has several small thin lines running in a fixed pattern all over the surface. These lines are known as veins.

There is one thick vein that runs through the middle of the leaf. This line is known as a midrib.

Midrib performs the following functions:

• Much like the function of 'ribs' in animals, the midrib provides effective support to a leaf by maintaining its structure and upright posture.
  
• Hence, during harsh weather conditions, the leaf remains steady and unbroken.
  
• The midrib also plays an important role in photosynthesis, since it allows the leaf to remain upright and directed towards the sun for the process of photosynthesis to occur properly.
  
• Additionally, the product of photosynthesis (plant's food), water, and other essential nutrients reach the roots and other parts of the plants through the midrib of the leaves.
  
• Therefore, if a midrib of a leaf gets damaged due to any reason, the leaf will not survive. The leaf will bend and be considered broken. The leaf will not be able to maintain its posture, get the required amount of sunlight for the synthesis of food, or be able to receive and send nutrients.

Hence, if the midrib of a leaf is damaged, the leaf will not survive.
