The marine biologist job outlook includes some growth, but with strong competition for jobs. If you are passionate and dedicated, you can make this a lifelong career. Marine biologists study ocean life, conducting research on aquatic plants and animals.
3. Leaf Arrangement (Phyllotaxy) Three different leaf arrangements: Alternate (one leaf per node), opposite (two leaves per node) and whorled (three or more leaves per node). A node is the place where one or more leaves are attached along the stem. The area between the nodes is called the internode.
Maples are distinguished by opposite leaf arrangement. The leaves in most species are palmate veined and lobed, with 3 to 9 (rarely to 13) veins each leading to a lobe, one of which is central or apical. A small number of species differ in having palmate compound, pinnate compound, pinnate veined or unlobed leaves.ne species, Acer negundo (Box-elder), has pinnately compound leaves that may be simply trifoliate or may have five, seven, or rarely nine leaflets. A few, such as Acer laevigatum (Nepal maple) and Acer carpinifolium (Hornbeam maple), have pinnately veined simple leaves.
