Plants Parts
Structure and Function
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Function of roots | Absorb water and nutrients, anchor the plant and support the above ground part of the plant, and store food |
| Taproot | large, main root responsible for finding water |
| apical meristem | area at the tip of the root where new cells develop |
| Rootcap | covers and protects the cells at the tip of the root |
| function of stem | support the leaves and position them so they can receive as much light as possible, and move water, minerals, and manufactured food throughout the whole plant |
| xylem | carries water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves |
| Which direction does the xylem travel? | Up! REMEMBER: Xylem Up Water (end of the alphabet) words) |
| Phloem | carries food created from the leaves in photosynthesis to the rest of the plant, including the roots |
| Which direction does the phloem travel? | Down! REMEMBER: PDF! Phloem Down Food! |
| Cambium | tissue responsible for the production of new xylem and phloem, it is between the xylem and phloem |
| function of the leaves | to produce food for the plants through photosynthesis |
| What are found in the leaves? | Chloroplasts! |
| Where is the cuticle found in the leaves? | the top and bottom layer |
| What is the function of the cuticle? | to prevent water from escaping the leaf |
| Where is the epidermis found in the leaves? | layer of cells on the top and bottom of the leaf under the cuticle |
| What is the function of the epidermis? | to protect the leaf |
| Where is the palisade mesophyll found in the leaves? | layer of cells below the upper epidermis |
| What is the function of the palisade mesophyll? | responsible for photosynthesis |
| Where is the spongy mesophyll found in the leaves? | layer of loosely packed cells beneath the palisade mesophyll |
| What is the function of the spongy mesophyll? | responsible for holding the products of photosynthesis |
| Where are the stomata found in the leaves? | in the lower epidermis |
| What is the function of the stomata? | to allow for gas exchange during photosynthesis and cellular respiration and to release water vapor during transpiration |
| Where are the guard cells found in the leaves? | they surround the stomata |
| What is the function of the guard cells? | to open and close the stomata |
| What is the function of the flower? | to reproduce and make more plants, to attract pollinators with bright colors and smells |
| receptacle | where the flower grows from the stem |
| sepals | protect the flower before it blooms, can photosynthesize and create food |
| Pistil/carpels | female reproductive parts of the flower |
| parts of the pistil | stigma, style, and ovary |
| stamen | male reproductive parts of the flower |
| parts of the stamen | anther and filament |
| anther | produces and contains the pollen (sperm) of a flower |
| filament | holds the anther, making pollinators able to access it |
| stigma | receives pollen and transfers the sperm down a tube to the ovary |
| style | assists fertilization, the tube the pollen will travel down before reaching the eggs in the ovary |
| ovary | creates and contains the eggs of the flower, once fertilized will eventually become a fruit |
| ovules | the female eggs of the flower, will be fertilized if it comes into contact with the sperm |
| petal | uses bright colors or smells to attract pollinators to bring male sperm of other flowers |
| angiosperm | type of plant that bears fruits and flowers |
| gymnosperm | type of plant that produces seeds not protected by a fruit or flower |
