What are the Functions?  Write down the parts of a plant.  Give two examples of what each part does for the plant.

Roots  Primary Root/Lateral Root  Anchors Plant  Storage of Nutrients  Root Hairs  Absorb H20  Roughly 14 billion per plant  Root Cap  Protects Root  Pushes Through Soil

Types of Roots  Tap  Tree  Fibrous  Corn  Rhizome  Grass

Types of Roots  Tuber  Potato  Corm  Gladiolus  Bulb  Daffodil

Shoot  Stem  Support  Transportation  Leaves  Food Production of Plant  Flower/Fruit  Reproduction/Dispersal  Buds & Nodes/Internodes  Sight of new leaf of Branch

Stem  Hold Plant Upright  Transport Water and Nutrients  Xylem-water and nutrients up from roots  Phloem-distribute sugars, amino acids and other products to rest of plant

Leaves  Main Site of Photosynthesis  Assist in gas exchange  Helps with H2O movement through plant sunlight sunlight  6 CO2 + 6 H2O  C6Hl2O6 + 6 O2

Flower/Fruit  Reproduction  Seed Production  Dispersal of Seed through different types  Fruit  Wind  Water  Attachment

Buds, Nodes & Internodes  Buds/ Nodes  Site of new Leaf or Branch  Internodes  Site in between Nodes
