Question

4. Celery has very small flowers clustered into an inflorescence called an umbel. Based on what you noted about flower morphology in the sunflower and the iris, what do you predict would be the morphology of an individual celery flower? (1 pt)

Answer 1

I would predict that celery flower would have a petals of four(4) or five (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Compound Umbel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Celery is more of an annual crop which is a herbaceous plant usually 60 to 120 cm high with white Flowers.

The Celery plant belongs to the Apiaceae and they are known to be mainly Annual.

Morphology or the shape of the Celery plant is that of a Compound Umbel, in which all Umbel inflorescences arises from a common point and appears to be at the same level.They change from

elongated axes (racemes and panicles) to flattened axes (corymbs and umbels) which results in inflorescences thereby making the flowers been arranged closely together. This close association encourages efficient pollination,and the extreme condensation of the inflorescences, as in the

head, gives rise to an inflorescence that appears

to be a single flower and example of such happen to be the sunflowers commonly found around us.
