1. Construct your Plant Booklet You will use the pages in your notebook after the “Plant” page you made yesterday. If you do not have a notebook, or don’t want to use too many sheets of paper, you may staple/fold together paper.

2. Plant Booklet

3. Table of Contents 1.What is a Plant & Specialized Plant Tissues 2.Vascular Tissues- Xylem and Phloem 3.Leaves & Stomata 4.Stem Functions & Root Functions 5.Water and Nutrient Transport in Plants 6. Gymnosperms & Angiosperms

4. What is a plant? Multicellular Eukaryotes with chloroplast Autotroph – Photosynthesis Cell walls made of Cellulose

5. Specialized Plant Tissues Plants consist of three main tissue systems: 1.Dermal tissue – skin of plant 2.Ground tissue – between the dermal and vascular tissue 3.Vascular tissue – transports water and nutrients throughout plant.

6. Xylem Water conducting vascular tissue

7. Phloem Food conducting vascular tissue.

8. Leaves Function: Leaves contain large numbers of chloroplasts containing the pigment chlorophyll – Optimized for photosynthesis

9. Stomata (Stoma) Small openings on the underside of leaves  The stomata provides CO 2 for photosynthesis  open during day or when have enough water  closed during night or when conserving water

10. Stems- Functions Produce leaves, branches and flowers Hold leaves up in the sunlight Transport various substances between roots and leaves

11. Root Function Anchor a plant Absorb water Absorb dissolved nutrients

12. Root Functions Minerals enter the roots through active transport. Water enters by osmosis Root hairs Active transport of minerals Movement of water by osmosis

13. Water Transport in Plants Root pressure Capillary Action Transpiration All work together to move water through xylem tissue of even the tallest plant.

14. Nutrient Transport Many plants pump sugars into their fruit. Move sugars out of leaves and roots, through the stems, to the fruit. Done through Phloem.

15. Gymnosperms "naked seeds" cone bearing plants (seeds grow on cones) needle like leaves usually stay green year round wind pollinated Examples: pine trees & evergreens

16. Angiosperms flowering plants seeds are enclosed in a fruit most are pollinated by birds & bees have finite growing seasons Examples: grasses, tulips, oaks, dandelions Divided into two main groups: Monocots & Dicots
