  1. Basic Parts of the Plant • Roots • Stems • Leaves • Flower

  2. Roots • 1. Anchor Plant • 2. Absorb water and minerals • 3. Translocate water and minerals to stem • 4. Store Food

  3. Stems • 1. Translocate water, minerals and food to the leaves • 2. Support the leaves and display them to light • 3. Store Food

  4. Leaves • 1. Make food through photosynthesis • 2. Provide site of gas exchange • 3. Store food

  5. Flowers • 1. Contain organs for specialized sexual production • 2. Produce seeds and fruit

  6. Different type of Roots • A. Tap Root • Continuation of the primary root • Ideal for anchorage • Penetration is greater for water • Storage area for food made by photosynthesis

  7. ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION? • THERE JUST MAY BE A QUIZ!!!

  8. Different type of Roots • B. Fibrous Roots • Many finely branched secondary roots • Shallow roots cover a large area • More effective absorption of water and minerals • Roots hold the soil to prevent erosion

  9. Different type of Roots • C. Aerial roots • Clinging air roots • Short roots that grow horizontally from the stems • Roots that fasten the plant to a support • Absorptive air roots

  10. Different type of Roots • Adventitious Roots • Develop in places other than nodes • Can form on cuttings and rhizomes

  11. Roots • Root hairs: • Tiny one celled hair like extensions of the epidermal cells located near the tips of the roots where vascular tissues have formed. • Increase surface area • Absorb water and minerals from soil

  12. Specialized Stems • A. Corm (gladiolus, crocus) • underground • Solid, fleshy, scale covered

  13. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!! • DON’T FALL ASLEEP • PAY ATTENTION! • THIS MEANS YOU!!!

  14. Specialized Stems • B. Bulb (tulips, lillies, onions) • Layers of fleshy scales that overlap each other • Underground stem

  15. Specialized Stems • C. Tuber (potato, caladium) • Food storage area • Short, thick underground stem

  16. Specialized Stems • D. Crown (African Violets, fern) • Closely grouped stems or plantlets • Just above ground or just below

  17. Specialized Stems • E. Spurs (pear and apple trees) • Short sems found on woody plant limbs adapted for increased production of fruits

  18. Specialized Stems • F. Rhizomes (iris, lily of the valley) • Underground stems that produce roots on the lower surface and extend leaves and flower shoots above the ground

  19. Specialized Stems • G. Stolon (Strawberry, airplane plant) • Stem that grows horizontally above the soil surface

  20. Principal Tissues of the Leaf • Epidermis • Cuticle • Waxy substance covers the leaves and stems • Waterproof layer that keeps water in plants

  21. Principal Tissues of the Leaf • Epidermis (cont) • Stomata • Openings in the epidermis mainly located on underside of leaves • Exchange of gases

  22. Principal Tissues of the Leaf • Epidermis (cont) • Guard Cells • Two cells located on each side of stomata • Open and closes stomata

  23. Principal Tissues of the Leaf • Mesophyll layer • Palisade mesophyll • Primary site of photosynthesis • Spongy mesophyll • Contains air and chloroplasts • Site of photosynthesis and gas exchange

  24. Principal Tissues of the Leaf • Veins or vascular bundles • In spongy mesophyll • Phloem tissues conduct food from photosynthesis to rest of plant • Xylem tissues conduct water and minerals up to cells in leaves and stems

  25. Parts of the Flower • Sepals • Outer covering of the flower bud • Protects the stamens and pistills when flower is in bud stage

  26. Parts of the Flower • Petals • Brightly colored • Protects stamen and pistills • Attracts pollinating insects

  27. Parts of the Flower • Stamens • Male Reproductive part • Anther-produces pollen • Filament-supports the anther

  28. Parts of the Flower • Pistil • Female reproductive part • Ovary • Enlarged portion at base of pistill • Produces ovules which develop into seeds • Stigma • Holds the pollen grains

  29. Parts of the Flower • Style • Connects the stigma with ovary • Supports the stigma so that it can be pollinated

  30. Complete and Incomplete Flowers • Complete: have all four main parts • Sepals • Petals • Stamens • Pistils
