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.
Leaves are classified as either alternate, spiral, opposite, or whorled. Plants that have only one leaf per node have leaves that are said to be either alternate or spiral. Alternate leaves alternate on each side of the stem in a flat plane, and spiral leaves are arranged in a spiral along the stem. In an opposite leaf arrangement, two leaves arise at the same point, with the leaves connecting opposite each other along the branch.
