Activity: to classify plants according to their characteristics [lo 2.2]

There are many thousands of species of plants and animals on the earth and they all differ from one another. When plants and animals with the same characteristics are grouped together (classified), it is easier to study them.

Why is it important to also carry out the classification of plants and animals as part of ecological studies?

The following table indicates how plants can be classified according to their external characteristics.

(i) Classification of plants on the basis of their leaves

Plants can be classified according to their leaves.

Net-like veins

The flat section of the leaf is called the leaf-blade (lamina). It is attached to the stem by means of a leaf-stalk (petiole). The petiole runs into the vein to form the main vein. The main vein branches and re-branches into lateral veins, forming a network of veins in the lamina. This is known as net-like (reticulated) veins.

In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

What is different between quantity demand and demand?
Shukri Reply
Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
