What is simple and compound leaf
Answers
A single leaf that can not be divided into any smaller unit or leaflet is called a simple leaf. This type of leaf joins the stem through petiole without further subdivision in them. True leaves are directly connected to the tree-bud.
Example: Pear, Maple, Hibiscus, Mango, Guava, Oregano, Black oak, etc.
COMPOUND LEAF:
The leaf blades of compound leave are divided into several smaller leaflets that connect the stem via petiole. Moreover, the leaf blades also divide completely along the mid-vein. The stem with such an arrangement of leaves is known as rachis, the modified version of mid-vein.
Example: Neem, Rose, Desert cotton, Horse chestnut, Buckeye, Baobab, Poison ivy, etc.
Answer:
a] Difference between
Simple leaves-
1] Simple leaves are single leaves that can not sub-divide into leaflets. These leaves attach to a twig by the petiole or stem.
2] The leaf base can have small-bud like stipules.
3]The petiole base consists of lateral buds.
4]A single leaf blade is present without any further division to leaflets.
5]No division is visible in the lamina.
6] Example: Oak, Black cherry, Banana, Mango, Sweat gum, Maple, Black gum, etc.
Compound leaf-
1] Compound leaves can divide to the mid-vein and form multiple leaflets or blades on a common rachis. Also, sometimes the leaflets can be compound.
2] The stipules can be present at the leaf base, but they are absent at leaflet bases.
3] Lateral buds are absent at the leaflet base.
4] Leaves divided into separate and distinguishable two or more blades.
5] The division is visible in the lamina.
6] Example: Shame plant, Rose, Clover, Baobab, Neem, Buckeye, Desert cotton, Horse chestnut, Poison ivy, etc.

ans:- Simple leaves- A leaf is said to be simple, when its lamina is entire or when incised, the incisions do not touch the midrib. Compound leaves- When the incisions of the lamina reach up to the midrib breaking it into a number of leaflets, the leaf is called compound.
c] what is compound leaf?
ans:- a leaf composed of a number of leaflets on a common stalk, arranged either palmately, as the fingers of a hand, or pinnately, as the leaflets of a fern; the leaflets themselves may be compound.
