Plant Structure • Lab unit 18 • Focus on Angiosperms
Three vegetative organs of all flowering plants Leaves Stem Roots
APICAL MERISTEMS Shoot meristems at microscope 10x Shoot Root root tip at microscope 10x

Most angiosperms belong to one of two major clades. • Monocot • Eudicot
Cotyledon? • Embryonic seed • is the first leaf or set of leaves that sprout from a seed • Store nutrients for the embryo
Roots….. Anchor the plant in soil Absorb water and minerals from soil Stores products of photosynthesis

Woody Stems Woody Stems are the stems of plants who have been growing for two years or more. After two years, a plant's stem thickens to accommodate growth and increased circulation in a plant. example -tree trunk
Leaf Anatomy Leaf Anatomy Cuticle Vascular tissue: Xylem Phloem
The organ that produces food for the plant –photosynthesis. • Well adapted for gathering light.
Leaf diversity for us • A simple leaf has a single blade. • A compound leaf has multiple blades (or leaflets) arranged along an axis or radiating from a central point.
UNIT 33 Three types: • Symbiosis is a close and often long-term interactions between different biological species
Parasitisma relationship is one in which one member of the association benefits while the other is harmed
Mutualismis any relationship between individuals of different species where both individuals derive a benefit
Commensalism describes a relationship between two living organisms where one benefits and the other is not significantly harmed or helped Commensalism is difficult to demonstrate, for true commensalism, the second species must be unaffected by the presence of the first
