  1. Let’s Look Inside a Leaf!

  2. Cross Section of a Leaf

  3. Vascular Plants

  4. Non-vascular Plants

  5. Vascular System (veins): Xylem and Phloem • There are two tubes found inside most plants: xylem and phloem. Xylem : transports nutrients and water from the roots of the plant to every area of the plant. Phloem : transports nutrients (mostly sugars that are made during photosynthesis from the leaves to the rest of the plant

  6. Vascular System (veins): Phloem and Xylem

  7. Cross Section of a carrot:

  8. Stomata Is a smallopeningonthe bottom of a leaf that gases pass in and out of (CO2, O2, H2O).

  9. Chloroplasts Thisiswherephotosynthesistakes place. Chloroplasts produce oxygen and sugar.

  10. Upper Epidermis Isthe top layer of a leaf. Thecells in the epidermis have a waterproofcoating thatpreventswaterloss.

  11. Stomata Vascular System (vein) Upper Epidermis Chloroplast

  12. Photosynthesis Is a processperformedbychloroplasts in a leaf in whichsugar (glucose) and oxygen are produced. Thisprocessrequiressunlight, carbondioxide, and water.

  13. Chlorophyll Is the green pigment of plants that traps the energy of sunlight from photosynthesis.
