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

8. 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 http://www.ringwoodbiology.co.uk/rotheryimages/stem1.jpg

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

10. Flower/Fruit  Reproduction  Seed Production  Dispersal of Seed through different types  Fruit  Wind  Water  Attachment http://www.diabetesuffolk.com/Living%20with%20Diabetes/images/fruit.JPG http://www1.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/pix/sv/fp/Burrs-m.jpg
