  1. Benjamin Lamielle recommends This is an in depth comparison and contrast between monocot anddicot angiosperms. There are sections that talk about the differences ineach concerning plant leaf veins, stem vascular arrangement, and root developement.

  2. Brye Yant recommends I think that this site would be of interst to this coursebecause it talks about a specific plant called a large-leaved rhododendron anddescribes a littl e about how the leaves are important to the plant. Besides thissite containin g a little article, it also contains many different pictures inwhich we can vi sually see the large leaves and understand more clearly why theyhave them. I think this site is interesting and put in terms that anyone canunderstand
  3. Kirk Dimitris recommends Description: I chose the topic plant leaves just because I thoughtit would be easy to find a lot of URL's on such a vast topic. I found a lotof informatio n on specific plants and not plant leaves in general. Afterbrowsing through about 60 to 70 URL's I came across the one I listed above. Afterreading it I was convinced that it directly pertains to a lot of the things wewent over in class on plant nutrients. The URL explains thoroughly the roles ofmicronutrie nts and macronutrients in the plant's leaves. Further, it disussespH and its effects on plant leaves. I beleive that reading this URL would bea useful supplement to the lecture itself. After reading the article I wasa lot cleare r on the whole topic of nutrients and their roles in the everydaylife of plant leaves.
