PLANT 1 .
structure, tissues in stem and leaf
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| ROOTS | 1. Anchor plant to the ground 2. Absorb water and minerals 3. Some store food |
| STEM | 1. Transports material from root to leaf 2. Xylem, Phloem 3. Structure and support |
| LEAF | 1. Photosynthesis 2. Capture light 3. Vascular bundles 4. Exchange of gases |
| MERISTEM | 1. The growing parts of a flowering plant 2. Divide by mitosis during plant life |
| FLOWER | 1. Produces pollen 2. Creates the fruit 3. Attracts insects 4. Reproductive organ |
| FRUIT | 1. Contains seed for reproduction 2. To go away from mother plant and create a new plant 3. Attract animals |
| ANGIOSPERMOCYTES | - Have true stems, leaves, roots and vascular tissues - Seeds develop in flowers Water not required for reproduction, wind or animal pollinatio |
| PLOEM | WATER |
| XYLEM | NUTRIENTS |
| PITH | the central part of the stem, spongy cells that provide area for storage |
| UPPER/LOWER CUTICLE | wax, PROTECTS against physical, chemical, biological. lets light through, but prevents water loss |
| UPPER EPIDERMIS | Flattened, rectangular, transparent cells protects against pathogens, reduces water loss, does gas exchange, lets light through |
| LOWER EPIDERMIS | has guard cells with cellulose when extra, too little water. stomata, barrier against infection, reduces water loss, gas exchange |
| PALISADE LAYER | Maximizes photosynthesis, elongated cells closely packed together, lots of chloroplasts, near the top-light |
| SPONGY LAYER | losely packed cells with lots of space, some chloroplasts, diffusion of gases |
