The storage tissue in bulbs are modified leaves
Because bulbs contain so much more food reserves than seeds, bulbs are the first plants to appear in the spring
Rhizomes are underground roots
Vegetative storage organs such as bulbs and tubers store food produced by photosynthesis carried out the previous year
The products of photosynthesis is soluble glucose. This is then transported through the phloem to the storage organ where it is converted to insoluble starch
Once a shoot from a bulb or tuber reaches the light it uses its sugars to restock the original bulb leaves/tuber ready for next year.
Many plants use a combination of asexual and sexual reproduction to get the best of both forms of reproduction
Multi-cellular animals cannot use asexual reproduction
Srawberry plants reproduce asexually using
