INTRODUCTION TO PLANTS NOTES
Plant Classification
3 What criteria is used to classify the thousands of different plants into categories?
4 The presence or absence of ________________.
5 What is vascular tissue?
6 ________ - tubular cells that transport water and dissolved minerals from the roots __________ to the leaves.
7 _________ - tubular cells that transport __________ made in the leaves (photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant
Two Main Groups of Plants
9 Non- Vascular Plants (___________)
10 since they have no xylem or phloem, water and minerals must travel in and out of the plant via ________ and _________.
11 Bryophytes are small plants like __________ and liverworts
12 Vascular Plants (2 types)
13 Plants that produce _________
14 ex. ferns, horsetails
15 Plants that produce __________
16 _________ - seed plants that do not produce flowers
17 these vascular plants produce seeds called “_______” (Conifers)
18 ex. Evergreen plants (pine, spruce)
19 ___________ - seed plants that produce flowers
20 develops seeds that are enclosed in ________
21 Angiosperms may be __________ (ex. grasses, lilies) or _________ (garden flowers, tees)
PLANT CLASSIFICATION
Roots and Stems
Roots and Stems
I. Roots
A. Roots are the underground parts of plants
B. Root Functions
1. ________________________________________– absorb water and minerals from the soil
2. _______________________________________ – some plants (carrots) store food in their roots
3. _______________________________________– roots anchor plants to the ground
C. Root Structure
1. ________________________________________ – the outermost cell layer of the root
2. ________________________________________ –
a. extension of an epidermal cell
b. increases surface area to help absorb water and minerals
3. _____________________________________
a. transports water and ions to the vascular core (made of vascular tissue) in the center of the root.
b. parenchyma – cells which make up the cortex. Can act as storage for food or water.
4. ____________________________________
a. single layer of cells
b. forms water-proof seal which surrounds roots’ vascular tissue.
c. controls flow of water and dissolved minerals into the root
5. _____________________________________
a. just inside the endodermis
b. can give rise to lateral roots
6. _____________________________________
a. xylem and phloem are located at the roots’ center
b. the cambium is located between the xylem and phloem
c. the cambium is growth tissue that produces additional xylem and phloem cells
D. Root Growth
1. _____________________________________ –
a. cells that are capable of growth
b. located just behind the root tip
2. _____________________________________ – tough, protective layer of cells covering the root tip
II. Stems
A. _______________________________ are above ground portions of the plant
B. Types
1. ________________________________ stems – green, flexible
2. ________________________________ stems – hard, rigid
C. Functions
1. _______________________________support leaves and flowers
2. conduction of materials through the xylem/phloem
3. _______________________________
4. storage
D. Internal structure
1. monocots – xylem and phloem __________________________ throughout the stem
2. dicots – xylem and phloem _______________________________ in vascular bundles which form a _______________________ between the cortex and the pith (central tissue)
E. Stem Growth
1. ___________________________________ growth – elongation, growth in height
2. ___________________________________ growth – growth in width
F. Tubers
1. enlarged, underground stems that act as storage organs (ex. potatoes)
