Structure A structure is a part of a system. Structures provide organization for an object (living or non-living). Examples of plant structures: root, stem, leaf, flower.

Function Function refers to the job or work that it does. Example: One function of a stem is to hold a plant up.

There are four main parts of a flowering plant. leaves stem roots

Roots root absorb water from the soil anchor the plant in place, absorb minerals from the soil. root

* helps to support the plant and transports water and minerals. Stem * helps to support the plant and transports water and minerals. stem

Leaf use sunlight in a chemical reaction to make food (a sugar) for the plant. also let in carbon dioxide through tiny openings called stomata. leaves

* helps the plant to reproduce by making new seeds. Flower * helps the plant to reproduce by making new seeds. flower

All plants have MALE and FEMALE parts! SHOCK WARNING! Reproduction All plants have MALE and FEMALE parts!

Plants reproduce by the process of pollination. Pollen from the MALE part of one plant must transfer to the FEMALE part of a different plant. Then a new seed forms in the flower’s ovary.

The MALE part that produces pollen. stamen The MALE part that produces pollen. pistil The FEMALE part that gets fertilized by pollen, and makes new seeds in the ovary.

Tube that pollen travels down The pistil has 3 parts (Don’t need to write this.) stigma (female part) Is sticky Catches pollen style Tube that pollen travels down ovary Contains eggs
