(Q) DISTINGUISH BETWEEN PARALLEL LEAF AND RETICULATE LEAF VENATION?​

Answer 1

Answer:

parallel leaf                                                                          reticulate leaf

veins of the blade or lamina exihibits                     the veins of the leaf blade or

the parallel pattern from base to the  tip            the lamina in the plant exihibits

known as the parallel leaf venation                  the web like pattern is reticulate

Explanation:                                                                     leaf vention

Answer 2

Parallel leaf :-

•) Veins are parallelly arranged with one another and mostly occurs in monocots

•) Presence of midveins classifies parallel venation into –

•) Pinnate parallel venation/unicostate parallel venation – veins emerge from evident midvein found in the centre of the leaf lamina from the base to the apex where veins develop perpendicular to the midvein towards the margin and are parallel to each other. Example- as seen in banana leaves

Recticulate venation :-

•) Veins are arranged in the form of a network and mostly occurs in dicots

•) It can be classified into the following two types:

Pinnate reticulate venation/unicostate reticulate venation – one midvein is present and all other veins form a mesh-like structure
