Match the items of Column A with those of Column B: Column A Column B 1. Tendril (a) Seeds 2. Radicle (b) Vein 3. Ovules (c) Root 4. Fibrous root (d) Grapevine 5. Midrib (e) Maize

1 - (d) The stem of a grapevine is weak. It cannot stand upright, hence it takes support on neighbouring structures such as walls or other plants, using special structures called tendrils. 2 - (c) A seed contains an embryo which is a baby plant. The plumule of the embryo forms the shoot system and the radicle of the embryo forms the root system. 3 - (a) The ovary is an enlarged base which is slightly swollen. It contains ball-like structures called ovules, which later becomes seeds. 4 - (e) Many thin fibre-like roots arising from the base of a maize plant are called fibrous roots and they spread out in the soil and give support to the plant. 5 - (b) The leaf blade has many fine veins forming a network. The thick vein in the centre is called the midrib. Column A Column B 1. Tendril (d) Grapevine 2. Radicle (c) Root 3. Ovules (a) Seeds 4. Fibrous root (e) Maize 5. Midrib (b) Vein
