1 Chapter 9 Section 3

2 Leaves Stems Roots Vascular tissue Reproduce by seeds which contain embryo and stored food

3

4 Leaves trap LIGHT and make food through photosynthesis

5 A thin layer of cells on the upper and lower surfaces of a leaf May have a waxy CUTICLE coating the epidermis

6

7 Small openings in the epidermis that allow carbon dioxide, water, oxygen to enter and exit leaf.

8 Each stomata is surrounded by two GUARD CELLS that open and close it.

9 Contains CHLOROPLASTS where food is made

10 Loosely arranged cells

11 allow movement of materials between leaves and roots Usually above ground Support branches, leaves, and flowers May store food

12 HERBACEOUS – soft and green WOODY - hard, rigid, and woody

13 Roots collect WATER and nutrients from the ground Anchor plants so they don’t blow away May store food or water.

14

15 Xylem tissue Phloem tissue Cambium tissue

16 Transports water from the roots throughout the plant

17 Moves food from where it is made to other parts of the plant.

18 Vascular plants that produce seeds that are not protected by fruits Oldest trees alive

19

20 Have NO flowers Leaves are often needlelike or scalelike, evergreens

21 Conifers Cycads Ginkgoes gnetophytes

22 Produce male and female cones
