  2. What is botany? • The biological science of plants • The plant life of a particular area

  3. The Cell Van De Graff, K.M., S.R. Rushforth, and J.L. Crawley. 1995. A Photographic Atlas for the Botany Laboratory, 2nd Edition Morton Publishing Company, Englewood, CO.

  4. Tissues • Groups of similar cells that perform specific functions • Meristematic tissue • Apical • Lateral • Secondary (vascular cambium; cork cambium) • Dermal tissue • Epidermis • Cuticle • Stomata • Lenticels • Ground tissue • Parenchyma • Collenchyma • Sckerenchyma • Vascular tissue • Xylem (Tracheids and vessel elements) • Phloem (Sieve tube elements and companion cells)

  5. Organs • Two or more tissue systems that carry out specific functions together • Roots • Stems • Leaves • Flowers

  6. Roots • Root cap • Meristematic region • Elongation region • Maturation region

  7. Roots

  8. Terminology

  11. Stems

  12. Respiration Glucose (C6H12O6) + 6O2 6H2O + 6CO2 + 36ATP + Heat

  13. Photosynthesis Sunlight Captured by leaves (ATP) CO2→ Glucose
