Slide1SC.912.L.14.7    Relate the structure of each of the major plant organs and tissues to physiological processes

Slide2Function of Leaves Make food through photosynthesis  Site of gas exchange  Respiration  Photosynthesis  Store food IDENTIFY THE PRINCIPAL ORGANS AND TISSUES OF SEED PLANTS:  LEAVES

Slide3Stomata Openings in the epidermis mainly located on the underside of leaves  Allow for exchange of gases (CO 2 , O 2 , H 2 O) Guard Cells  Two cells located on each side of stomata  Opens and closes stomata Cuticle  Waxy substance that covers the leaves & stems  Waterproof layer that keeps water in plants  Transparent to allow light to enter for photosynthesis TISSUES OF THE  LEAF :   EPIDERMIS

Slide4Palisade mesophyll Primary site of photosynthesis Spongy mesophyll  Contains air & chloroplasts  Site of photosynthesis and gas exchange TISSUES OF THE  LEAF :   MESOPHYLL LAYER

Slide5Vascular Bundles Transport system  Called veins  Found in spongy mesophyll  Two Forms  Phloem  moves food from leaf to the rest of the plant  Xylem  moves water & minerals up from the roots to the leaves TISSUES OF THE  LEAF

Slide6LEAF TISSUE ORGANIZATION

Slide7Function of Stems Movement of materials  Water & minerals from roots to leaves  Manufactured food from leaves to roots  Support leaves & reproductive structures  Food storage IDENTIFY THE PRINCIPAL ORGANS AND TISSUES OF SEED PLANTS:  STEMS

Slide8Terminal Bud Bud on the end of the stem. Axillary Lateral Bud  Bud on the side of the stem. EXTERNAL  STEM  STRUCTURE

Slide9Xylem The tissue that transports water & nutrients  up  from roots to stems & leaves. Phloem  Tissue that transports food  down from leaves to roots. Cambium  Thin, green, actively growing tissue located between bark & wood and produces all new stems cells. INTERNAL  STEM  STRUCTURE

Slide10Bark Old, inactive phloem. Heartwood  Old, inactive xylem. Sapwood  New, active xylem. INTERNAL  STEM  STRUCTURE

Slide11Corms Underground stem  Solid, fleshy, scale covered Bulb  Layers of fleshy scales that overlap each other  Underground stem Stolens  Stem that grows horizontally above the soil surface SPECIALIZED TYPES OF  STEMS Tubers  Food Storage Area  Short, thick underground stem Rhizomes  Underground stems that produce roots on the lower surface and extend leaves and flower shoots above ground Corms Bulbs Tubers Rhizomes Stolons

Slide12Functions Anchors the plant  Absorbs water & minerals  Stores food IDENTIFY THE PRINCIPAL ORGANS AND TISSUES OF SEED PLANTS:  ROOTS

Slide13Tap Roots One main root, no nodes  Ideal for anchorage  Penetration is greater for water and food storage Aerial Roots  Clinging air roots  Short roots that grow horizontally from the stems and fasten plant to a support  Absorptive air roots  Absorb moisture from the air DIFFERENT TYPES OF  ROOTS Fibrous Roots  Many finely branched secondary roots  Shallow roots cover a large area  More efficient absorption of water & minerals  Roots hold the soil to prevent erosion Adventitious Roots  Develop in places other than nodes  Form on cuttings & rhizomes Tap Aerial Fibrous Adventitious

Slide14Root Cap Indicates growth of new cells Root Hairs  Tiny one celled hair-like extensions of the epidermal cells located near the tips of roots.  Increase surface area.  Absorb water & minerals. PARTS OF  ROOTS

Slide15Internal structure of Roots Much Like Those Of Stems With Phloem, Cambium And Xylem Layers Phloem  The outer layer.  Carries food down the plant. Xylem  The inner layer.  Carries water & minerals up to the stem.

Slide16IDENTIFY THE PRINCIPAL ORGANS AND TISSUESOF SEED PLANTS:  FLOWERS Functions  Contain the sexual organs for the plant.  Produces fruit, which protects, nourishes  and carries seeds.  Attracts insects for pollination.

Slide17Petals Brightly colored  Protects stamen & pistils.  Attracts pollinating insects.  Collectively called the corolla. Sepals  Outer covering of the flower bud.  Protects the stamens and pistils when flower is in bud stage. PARTS OF THE  FLOWER

Slide18The STAMEN  is the male reproductive part.  It is made up of  Anther  Produces  pollen  which fertilize the ovules  Filament  Supports the anther The  PISTIL  is the female reproductive part.  It is made up of  Ovary  Enlarged portion at base of pistil  Produces ovules which develop into seeds  Stigma  Holds the pollen grains during fertilization  Style  Connects the stigma with the ovary  Supports the stigma so that it can be pollinated FLOWER  REPRODUCTION pistil
