2 The plant body has a hierarchy of organs, tissues, and cells Plants, like multicellular animals: o Have organs composed of different tissues, which are in turn composed of cells

3 3 basic organs: o roots o stems o leaves Root System o root tip o root hairs

4 Functions: o anchor plants in soil o absorb minerals & water o store food

5 Found near the root tip Increase surface area Aid in the absorption of water and minerals

6

7 Shoot System o stems & leaves Stems o nodes internodes o buds terminal & apical axillary buds flower buds & flowers

8 Nodes o the point where the leaf is attached Internodes o the stem segments between nodes

9 Axillary buds o a structure that has the potential to form a lateral shoot (branch) Terminal buds o located near the shoot tip o causes elongation of a young shoot

10

11 Leaves o mesophyll tissue o flattened blade & stalk o petiole Veins o vascular bundles

12 Function o photosynthesis energy production CHO production o gas exchange o transpiration

13

14

15 Both systems depend on each other o roots depend on sugars produced by photosynthetic leaves o shoots depend on water & minerals absorbed by the soil from roots sugars water & minerals

16

17 Found in each plant organ 3 types: o dermal o vascular o ground

18 Epidermis o skin of plant o single layer of tightly packed cells covers & protects the plant

19 Carries out long-distance transport between roots & shoots 2 tissue types: o xylem o phloem

20 Moves water and minerals upwards from the roots Dead cells at functional maturity o only cell walls remain o need empty pipes to efficiently move H 2 O o transpirational pull

21 Basic unit of xylem A single elongated cell Aaaah Structure Function again!

22 Food-conducting cells Carry sugar & nutrients throughout the plant Sieve-tube elements & companion cells Living cells

23 Cell membrane, cytoplasm o control of diffusion Lose their nuclei, ribosomes, & vacuole o more room for transport of sucrose Cells o sieve tubes sieve plates end walls have pores to facilitate flow of fluid between cells o companion cells nucleated cells connected to the sieve tube help sieve tubes

24 Bulk of plant tissue Photosynthetic mesophyll Storage Support

25 Parenchyma Collenchyma Sclerenchyma Water-conducting cells of the xylem Sugar-conducting cells of the phloem

26 typical plant cells = least specialized photosynthetic cells storage cells tissue of leaves, stem, fruit, storage roots

27 Unevenly thickened primary walls Support o without restricting growth Alive at maturity the strings in celery stalks are collenchyma

28 Very thick, woody secondary walls Support (xylem vessels & tracheids) Rigid cells that can t elongate Dead at functional maturity Grittiness in pears, nutshells, seed coats

29 collect annual rings Dicot trees & shrubs Monocot grasses & lilies

30 A In seeds, two cotyledons (seed leaves of embryo) B Flower parts in fours or fives (or multiples of four or five) Leaf veins usually forming a netlike array Pollen grains with three pores or furrows Vascular bundles organized in a ring in ground tissue In seeds, one cotyledon (seed leaf of embryo) Flower parts in threes (or multiples of three) Leaf veins usually running parallel with one another Pollen grains with one pore or furrow Vascular bundles throughout ground tissue

31 phloem xylem

32 xylem phloem

33

34

35 Animals grow throughout the whole organism o many regions & tissues at different rates

36 Specific regions of growth Regenerate new cells

37

38 1 & 2 growth occur simultaneously but in different locations

39 Lengthens roots & shoots Produces the primary plant body o (parts produced by apical meristems) Primary growth in roots o covered by a root cap protection as root pushes through soil

40 Location: o tips of roots o buds of shoots Elongate roots & shoots through primary growth

41 shoot root

42 protecting the meristem

43 Apical bud & primary growth of shoot o region of stem growth protecting the meristem Young leaf primordium Apical meristem Older leaf primordium Lateral bud primordium Vascular tissue

44 Add thickness to woody stems o secondary growth

45 Woody plants grow in height from the tip o primary growth Woody plants grow in diameter from the sides o secondary growth makes 2 xylem and 2 phloem makes bark thickens & strengthens older parts of the tree rings around the tree
