Plant Transport Systems: What do we already know? BrainPOP Teaser BrainPOP Teaser 1)What are the functions of roots in plants? Absorb water and minerals Anchor the plants Store food Plant Structures and Functions: Lesson 2

Plant Transport Systems: Vocabulary Part I 1) Xylem: moves water and minerals up from the roots (Trunk or stem). 2) Phloem: moves the sugar produced in the leaves to its other parts. 3) Cambium: is where new xylem and phloem cells are produced. Plant Structures and Functions: Lesson 2

Plant Transport Systems: Drawings (pg. 83) Plant Structures and Functions: Lesson 2

Plant Transport Systems: Drawings (pg. 84) Plant Structures and Functions: Lesson 2

Plant Transport Systems: Main Ideas 1)How do different materials move in plants?  1)Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. 2)Phloem transports sugar (energy) from the leaves to the rest of the plant. 3)Roots and leaves absorb needed materials such as carbon dioxide, sunlight, water and minerals Plant Structures and Functions: Lesson 2

2) What is the transport system made of?  Xylem Phloem Cambium Quick Check -Cause and Effect: What causes wide, light rings on a tree trunk  Cambium creating xylem Plant Structures and Functions: Lesson 2 Plant Transport Systems: Main Ideas
