ISA Arborist Test: Chapter 2(A+ graded 100% verified latest update)Alternate - pertaining to bud or leaf arrangement, one leaf or bud at each node, situated in alternating positions along the stem. In this arrangement, the leaves are not directly across from one another. Angiosperm - plant with seeds born in an ovary. Consists of two large groups: monocotyledons (grasses, palms) and dicotyledons (woody trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants) Class - Taxonomic group below the division level, but above the order level. Compound Leaf - Leaf with two or more leaflets. Conifer - Cone-bearing tree or other plant that has seeds in its structure called a cone. Cultivar - Cultivated Variety of a plant. Cannot be reproduced without human assistance. Usually propagated asexually. Deciduous - Tree or other plant that sheds all of its leaves to a genetically scheduled cycle as impacted by climate factors Dicotyledon - Plant with two cotyledons in its embryos; netted or palmate leaf veins; and flowers with three, four or five petals or petals in multiples of these numbers. Division - Taxonomic group below the kingdom level but above the class level. Entire - Term Describing a leaf margin without teeth. Family - taxonomic group under the order level and above the genus level. Foliage - leaves of a plant Forma - group of plants within a species having distinct variations that occur sporadically and naturally. Genus - taxonomic group, composed of species having similarly fundamental traits. Botanical classification under the family level and above the species epithet level Gymnosperm - plants with exposed seeds, usually within cones. Hybrid - plant resulting from a cross between two or more other plants that are more or less alike. Kingdom - primary taxonomic group, separating plants from animals Leaf Apex - Tip of the Leaf Blade Leaf Base - Bottom part of the Leaf blade Leaf Margin - Outer Edge of the Leaf Blade Monocotyledon - Plant with an embryo that has one seed leaf. Examples are palms and grasses. Morphology - Study of the form and structure of plants and other living organisms. Nomenculture - Scientific naming system for living organisms. Opposite - Pertaining to leaf or branch arrangement, leaves or branches situated two at each node across from each other on the other stem. Order - taxonomic group below the class level, but above the family level. Palmate - type of compound leaf with veins or leaflets radiating in a fan-like pattern. Phylum - primary taxonomic group within a kingdom. Pinnate - type of compound leaf, with leaflets along each side of a common axis. Serrate - Sawtooth margin of a leaf, with the teeth pointed forward. Simple Leaf - single-bladed leaf. Not composed of Leaflets. Species - taxonomic group of organisms composed of individuals of the same genus that can reproduce among themselves and have similar offspring. Specific Epithet - classification name that follows the genus name in specific nomenclature. Subspecies - group of plants within a species having distinct differences that occur naturally and usually with a specific geographic region. Taxonomy - science that studies the description, denomination and classification of living organisms based on their similarities and differences. Variety - naturally occurring subdivision of a species having a distinct difference and breeding true to that difference.
