Roots • Grow underground • Anchor the plant in the soil • Absorb water and nutrients from the soil Examples: carrots, turnips, radishes roots
Stems • Support the leaves, flower, and fruit • Transport water and nutrients to the rest of the plant Examples: celery, asparagus stem
Leaves • Contain chlorophyll • Take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air • Capture light energy and convert it to food for the plant • Make food (sugar) for the plant- • Photosynthesis- 6CO2 + 6H20 C6H12O6+ 6O2 (Carbon dioxide) (water) (sunlight) (sugar) (oxygen) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj8TGhcCnxs Examples: lettuce, spinach, cabbage leaf
Flowers • Produce seeds • Seeds develop in the ovary • Ovary swells to become the fruit as the seeds mature inside of it • The petals wither and fall off Examples: cauliflower, broccoli flower
