1. Patterns of Structure and Function in Plants

2. Brain Viagra In The News

3. Vascular Plants Have transport system –Water –Nutrients Allows for larger size

4. Organization of Vascular Plant Below ground root system –Roots for absorption Above ground shoot system –Stems & leaves Both have growth zones

5. Tissue Types of Vascular Plants (Differentiated Tissue) Vascular tissue –Circulatory system Ground tissue –Embeds vascular tissue –Most of plant tissue – Stores carbohydrates Dermal tissue –Protective covering

6. Meristem Tissue (Undifferentiated Tissue) Area of cell division Gives rise to other tissue types Results in plant growth

7. Vascular Tissue Xylem –Transports Water Nutrients –Conducting cells Tracheids Vessel elements –Cells die before becoming functional

8. Vascular Tissue Phloem –Conducts Carbohydrates Minerals –Cells Sieve-tube members –Living cells –Cytoplasm, no nuclei Companion cells –Nuclei –Secrete into & remove from sieve-tube members

9. Ground Tissue Three cell types –Parenchyma cells –Collenchyma cells –Sclerenchyma cells

10. Parenchyma Photosynthesis and storage Thin walled Most common cell type

11. Collenchyma Support tissue Unevenly thickened cells Bundles of supportive columns

12. Sclerenchyma Help in support and strength Dead, hollow cells with thick walls Fibers and sclerids

13. Covers plant Cells –Mostly epidermal (cuticle) –Guard cells Surround stomata –Trichomes Outgrowths of epidermis Bark replaces dermal tissue in woody plants Dermal Tissue

14. Meristematic Tissue Meristems –Areas of undifferentiated cells –Undergoes mitosis Primary growth –At tips of roots & shoots Secondary growth –Cylinder of meristematic tissue –Found in woody plants

15. Organs of Vascular Plants Roots Stems Leaves

16. Roots Absorb water & minerals Anchor the plant Storage (Some Roots)

17. Root Tissue Structure

18. Root Growth Meristem tissue at tip of root

19. Root Hairs Increase surface area for absorption

20. Types of Roots TaprootProp RootFibrous Root

21. Essential Nutrients Delivered by Roots

22. Need for Nutrients Plants produce carbohydrates from nonmineral nutrients (photosysthesis) Need nucleic acids, proteins, fats, & vitamins These are produced from carbohydrates and mineral nutrients Nutrient deficiency impairs growth

23. Stems Support leaves Transport fluids Have many shapes Storage

24. Stem Structures Nodes –Areas where leaves form on stem Internodes –Areas between nodes Lateral buds –Side shoots from stem

25. Stem Transport System

26. Vascular Cambium Growth tissue in woody stems New xylem & phloem is formed

27. Secondary Growth in Woody Stems

28. Wood of Trees Accumulated secondary xylem Hardwood – wood of dicot trees Softwood – wood of conifers Not accurate descriptions of wood density

29. Tissues in Tree Cross Section

30. Leaves Sites of photosynthesis Blade = flattened portion Petiole = stalk

31. Dicot vs. Monocot Leaves Monocot – veins parallel Dicot – net-like

32. Internal Leaf Structure

33. Openings in Leaf Tissue Used for respiration Stomata – openings Guard cells – regulate opening

34. Transpiration Water exiting leaf openings Fluids move by transpirational pull or (adhesion- cohesion-tension theory) –Water evaporates from airspaces within leaves –Water in mesophyle moves into empty spaces –Results in pull of water in xylem –Molecules pulled up (adhesion & cohesion) –Water (by osmosis) and minerals (by active transport) enter through root

36. Bulk Flow or (pressure flow) Fluid (sap) is also transported by phloem Transports products of photosynthesis Bulk flow = pressure flow –Companion cells actively transport sucrose into sieve tube member cells, water follows by osmosis –High pressure develops in phloem near the source –Low pressure in sink (where sucrose is used) – causing the rapid flow of sap

38. Nonvascular Plants No true roots, stems or leaves some have stems and leaf-like structures Outer layer of epidermis Parenchyma cells inside Some have central strand of water- conducting cells No other vascular tissues

39. Rhizoids Anchor some nonvascular plants No role in absorption
