Stems A plant’s stem has two main functions: 1. physical support (Page 64) A plant’s stem has two main functions: 1. physical support 2. transportation of sap Copyright © 2010 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.

Roots A plant’s root has three main functions: (Page 65) A plant’s root has three main functions: 1. to anchor the plant in the ground 2. to take up water and minerals from the soil 3. to store energy and nutrient supplies for later use Types of Roots Tap Root Fibrous Root Copyright © 2010 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.

Flowers (Page 68) The main function of a plant’s flowers is reproductive. Flowers: produce sperm and eggs for sexual reproduction attract insects and other animals for pollination produce seeds and sometimes fruit after pollination Copyright © 2010 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.

Performing Specific Functions Plant Organ Systems Performing Specific Functions

Xylem and Phloem Section 2.2 Plant Organ Systems (Page 70) System – a group of tissues and organs that perform specific functions Xylem and Phloem Shoot System –supports the plant, performs photosynthesis, and transports sap Root System – takes in water & nutrients from the soil and transports them to the shoot system Copyright © 2010 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.

Moving Water Through the Systems (Pages 72-74) “The push from below” – Water enters the root by osmosis and moves toward the centre of the root into the xylem vessels. The pericycle prevents the water from moving backward. Root pressure builds up in the xylem and pushes water “up.” Tiny root hairs increase the surface area of the root.

Moving Water Through the Systems (Pages 72-74) “The pull from above” – While the roots push the water column from below, the leaves pull from above. Transpiration aids in this process. Copyright © 2010 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.

The Movement of Maple Sap (Page 75) In the spring, sucrose from the roots flows “upward” to help produce leaf buds. In the summer and fall, the leaves produce glucose that moves “downward” to be stored in the roots. Glucose Glucose Sucrose Sucrose Starch Starch Copyright © 2010 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.
