Answer 1

Here are the answers to your question.

a)Midvein

More frequently called midrib or stem of the leaf, especially when it is prominently raised or depressed, the midvein is the main or central vein of a leaf from which arise the secondary or lateral veins.

b)Bryophytes

Bryophytes have no roots, leaves or stems. Moss and liverworts belong to this group.

c)Ovary

The fertilized ovule becomes the seed, and the ovary becomes the fruit. Petals are also important parts of the flower, because they help attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies and bats. You can also see tiny green leaf-like parts called sepals at the base of the flower.

d)Pedicel

The word "pedicel" is derived from the Latin pediculus, meaning "little foot". The stem or branch from the main stem of the inflorescence that holds a group of pedicels is called a peduncle. A pedicel may be associated with a bract or bracts.

e) Chlorophyll

A green pigment found in chloroplasts, is an important part of the light-dependent reactions. Chlorophyll soaks up the energy from sunlight. It is also the reason why plants are green.

f) nucleoplasm

Within the cell nucleus is a viscous liquid called nucleoplasm, similar to the cytoplasm found outside the nucleus.

g) Deficiency

A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body doesn't absorb or get from food the necessary amount of a nutrient. Deficiencies can lead to a variety of health problems. These can include digestion problems, skin disorders, stunted or defective bone growth, and even dementia.

h) Composting

Composting is an aerobic method (meaning that it requires the presence of air) of decomposing organic solid wastes. It can therefore be used to recycle organic material. The process involves decomposition of organic material into a humus-like material, known as compost, which is a good fertilizer for plants.
