Which of the following leaves have reticulate venation?Wheat, tulsi, maize, grass, coriander (dhania), China rose


Tulsi, coriander (dhania), and China rose leaves frequently exhibit reticulate venation. Reticulate venation is the term describing the arrangement of veins (or nerves) in a network or weblike pattern over the surface of a leaf blade or lamina.


Taproot-system plants frequently exhibit it.

In the vast majority of vascular plant species, the leaves are the most important organ.





Autotrophic plants are those that generate their own food through the process of photosynthesis rather than acquiring it from other living creatures. This is the case with all green plants. They capture the sun's energy and utilise it to turn carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars like glucose and sucrose. This process is called photosynthesis.


The sugars are then either stored as starch, transformed further through chemical synthesis into more complex organic compounds such as proteins or cellulose, the primary structural component of plant cell walls, or digested by cells during respiration in order to produce chemical energy that can be used by cells for their functions.


As part of the process of transpiration, the leaves of the plant use the vascular conducting system known as xylem to draw water from the surrounding soil.


Stomata, which are found in the epidermis, the outermost covering layer of the leaf, are responsible for diffusing carbon dioxide from the surrounding air into the leaf. After the sugar has been produced, it has to be moved to areas of the plant that are actively growing, such as the shoots and the roots. Only then will the sugar be used.


Phloem is a special tissue that is only found in vascular plants and is responsible for the transfer of sugars in these plants. Phloem and xylem are normally responsible for transporting materials in opposite directions, despite the fact that they run parallel to one another.


These vascular systems within the leaf branch (ramify) develop veins that supply as much of the leaf as possible, so ensuring that cells that produce photosynthesis are located in close proximity to the transportation system.
