Leafbase is swollen to form pulvinus in –
Some leguminous plants

What is the function of thin flexible petiole?
It helps the plant to climb
It increases the rate of respiration
It allows leaf blade / lamina to flutter in wind there by cooling the leaf and bringing fresh air to leaf surface
It decreases the rate of transpiration
Which of the following statements is false about leaf?
A leaf is said to be simple, when its lamina is entire or when incised, the incisions do not touch the midrib
A leaf is said to be compound when the incisions of lamina reach upto the midrib breaking into a number of leaflets
Leaf is the most important vegetative organ for photosynthesis
Leaf is not a transpiratory organ
