Question

Give examples of unipinnate, bipinnate, tripinnate compound leaves.

Answer 1

Hint: Plants have a variety of leaf configurations. To the untrained eye, all plants appear to have leaves on their branches. Many plants have multiple leaflets on a branch, which are referred to as leaflets, and the entire branch is referred to as a leaf. Compound leaves are what they're called. So, in a broad sense, there are two sorts of compound leaves. There are two types of compound leaves: pinnately compound and palmately compound.

Complete answer:
1. Unipinnate leaf- On the rachis, single leaflets are arranged in opposite directions.
Example: Azadirachta indica
2. Bipinnate leaf- When the unipinnate leaf's single leaflets are replaced by unipinnate leaves, the leaves become bipinnate.
Example: Mimosa pudica
3. Tripinnate leaf- Tripinnate leaves are formed when the single leaflets of unipinnate leaves are replaced by bipinnate leaves.
Example: Moringa oleifera

Note:
1. Pinnately compound leaves- The leaflets on the rachis of these leaves are arranged in an opposing pattern. The leaflets might be paired evenly or strangely. The leaflets are placed in an opposite fashion in evenly-paired pinnate leaves, and the rachis ends with two leaflets, which is known as Paripinnate. Imparipinnate leaflets are oriented in opposing directions with a trailing leaf at the anterior end of the rachis in awkwardly paired pinnate leaves.
2. Palmately Compound Leaves- These are a type of complex leaf that appears to be a single leaf, yet looks can be deceiving. A common point at the end of the petiole gives rise to many leaflets.
