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

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

15	WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!! DON’T FALL ASLEEP PAY ATTENTION! THIS MEANS YOU!!!
16	Specialized Stems B. Bulb (tulips, lillies, onions) Layers of fleshy scales that overlap each other Underground stem
17
18
19	Specialized Stems C. Tuber (potato, caladium) Food storage area Short, thick underground stem
20
21
22	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
23
24	Specialized Stems G. Stolon (Strawberry, airplane plant) Stem that grows horizontally above the soil surface
25
26	Principal Tissues of the Leaf Epidermis Cuticle Waxy substance covers the leaves and stems Waterproof layer that keeps water in plants
27	Principal Tissues of the Leaf Epidermis (cont) Stomata Openings in the epidermis mainly located on underside of leaves Exchange of gases
28	Principal Tissues of the Leaf Epidermis (cont) Guard Cells Two cells located on each side of stomata Open and closes stomata
29	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
30	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
