1) Terrestrial plants rely on support mechanisms to hold leaves, flowers, and fruits in positions that maximize photosynthesis, pollination, and dispersal.
2) In dicotyledonous plants, support is provided by turgor pressure in plant cells, and mechanical tissues like collenchyma and sclerenchyma fibers. Collenchyma provides flexible support while sclerenchyma provides strength.
3) Vascular tissues with lignified xylem vessels and tracheids provide further structural support. In stems, these tissues are positioned towards the outside to resist bending from wind. In roots, they are centered to resist pulling forces. Their placement and composition provides strength and rigidity throughout
Plants have adaptations to help them survive (live and grow) in different areas. Adaptations are special features that allow a plant or animal to live in a particular place or habitat. These adaptations might make it very difficult for the plant to survive in a different place.
This explains why certain plants are found in one area, but not in another. For example, you wouldn't see a cactus living in the Arctic. Nor would you see lots of really tall trees living in grasslands.
This presentation focuses on anatomical adaptations of three major types of plants: Hydrophytes, mesophytes and xerophytes.
These slide include some bryophytes , with their description
& some characteristics feature
These include Hydrilla Verticillata, Vellisneria spiralis,pistia,
Eichhornia,Salvania etc.

Xerophytes are plants which grow in xeric environment. They have adapted morphological, physiological and anatomical changes in order to survive in xeric conditions. Various anatomical adaptations in xerophytic plants which helps to absorb as much as water as possible, to store for long time and to reduce the rate of transpiration which enables them to survive in xeric condition are included in the presentation.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.

LOCOMOTION AND SUPPORT IN ORGANISMS
SUPPORT IN TERRESTRIAL PLANTS
Importance of support in terrestrial plants
1. Enables holding leaves to receive maximum sunlight for
photosynthesis
2. Enables exposing flowers in the most suitable position
for pollination
3. Allows holding fruits and seeds in the possible
favourable position for dispersal
4. Maintains plant shape.
SUPPORT MECHANISMS IN DICOTYLEDONOUS
PLANTS
1. Turgidity of cells
Turgor pressure: outward pressure from the inside of a
fully turgid cell.
When fully turgid, the close packing of parenchyma cells
in cortex and pith of the stem causes them to press against
one another to keep herbaceous plants and young woody
plants erect. Absence / insufficient water reduces turgor
pressure causing loss of support due to wilts.
2. Mechanical tissues
(a) Collenchyma cells have uneven thickened cellulose
cell walls, and are alive.
(i) Collenchyma tissue provide flexible support (a
mechanical function) to stems and leaves, enabling
withstanding the lateral force of the wind.
(ii) The walls of collenchyma cells can be deformed by
pressure or tension and retain the new shape even if the
pressure or tension ceases.
Location: in young plants, herbaceous plants and some
organs such as leaves
(b) Sclerenchyma fibres and sclereids have lignified cell
walls and are dead when mature.
(i) The tough and elastic cell wall of elongated fibres allow
the cell to be deformed but can snap back to their original
size and shape when the pressure or tension is released.
(ii) Provides great tensile or compressional strength in
plants parts, such as in the vascular tissues of stems and
roots and the bundle sheath of leaves
(iii) Support the tree while the elasticity allows the trunk
and the branches to sway in the wind without breaking.
Location: found in small groups in cortex, pith, phloem
and shells of coconuts.
3. Distribution of vascular tissues (xylem vessels and
tracheids)
The distribution is related to the resistance of the various
forces acting upon them, e.g. in land plants the stem is
mainly exposed to bending stresses due to the action of
wind while roots experience pulling stress.
(i) Xylem vessels and tracheids are dead, the cell
walls are lignified and thickened which provides
great mechanical strength to resist bending in the
stem, reinforce against pulling in the root and are
the most important supporting cells in the veins of
leaves.
(ii) Vascular tissue in young dicot
stems
Location: at the root periphery (near
edge)
This increases the resistance to the
bending stresses produced by wind or
the passing animals.
(iii) Vascular tissue in dicot roots
Location: at the root centre
The solid cylinder increases the tensile strength to
resist the uprooting force produced by the pulling
effect of wind.
The solid cylinder also provides sufficient
incompressibility against the longitudina l
compression by the load from overhead and against
the lateral pressure exerted by the surrounding soil
2. Advanced Locomotion and supportnotes2021 Edited for cornerstoneleadership academy-boys
(iv) In leaves, vascular tissue is located at the upper side
of midrib and lateral veins, and it extends throughout the
leaf surface. This enables resisting tearing forces acting
on the leaves blade by the wind.
(v) In woody stems, the lignified secondary xylem
tissues (known as wood) occupy most part of the woody
stem, which makes the stem very hard and rigid to avoid
depending on cell turgidity for support
