Presentation Transcript

  1. Roots • Roots anchor the plant. • Roots absorb water and dissolved minerals from the ground. • Roots may also be modified to store food. Ex. Carrots, radish, turnip etc.

  2. C.S. Monocot Root (line)

  3. C. S. of Monocot Root

  4. Steel

  5. C.S. Dicot Root (line diagram)

  6. C.S. Dicot Root

  7. V. Cylinder Dicot Root

  8. Stems • Supports leaves and flowers • Stem transports water and dissolved sugars. • Stem may photosynthesize. Ex. Cactus, green stems • Stem may also store food

  9. Transport in stems Water lost through leaves is replaced by water moving up through xylem. Xylem also carries minerals with water. Phloem transports sugars and hormones. Portion of the plant that stores these sugars is called a “Sink”.

  10. Modification of stems • Tuber and Rhizome are underground stems that store food and sprouts new plants. Ex. Potato and ginger.

  11. Scattered V.B.’s V.B.’s enlarged Cross section of Monocot stem

  12. Growth in Monocots Monocots are annual plants and do not show secondary growth

  13. Vascular bundles are arranged in a ring V. B. enlarged Cross section of a dicot stem

  14. Growth in dicots • Dicot plants are perennial and show secondary growth. • Vascular cambium and cork cambium increase the girth of stem. • Vascular cambium grows in between primary xylem and primary phloem.

  15. Woody stems • As stem grows in height it also grows in thickness. • The xylem tissue produced by secondary growth is wood. • Outer portion develops bark. • Bark is composed of phloem cells and cork cambium. • Bark protects the stem from damage.

  16. Shapes of leaves

  17. Monocot and Dicot leaves

  18. C.S. of Monocot leaf

  19. C.S. of Monocot leaf • Monocot leaves have parallel veins. • Monocot leaves have thin cuticle on both sides of the leaf. • They also have stomata on both sides. • Examples: Grass family: wheat, corn etc.

  20. C. S. of a Dicot leaf

  21. C. S. of Dicot leaf • Dicot leaves have thick cuticle, on the upper surface and very thin or no cuticle on the lower surface. • Stomata are present on the lower epidermis but almost no stomata on the upper epidermis. • Mesophyll is divided into palisade layer toward upper surface) and spongy parenchyma (towards lower surface).
