1
Function shapes structure… Structure enables function What functions and structures exist? Those passed on by past generations… Evolution
3
Plants grow and reproduce, as well as, respond to the environment. CB 35.2
4
Plants grow and reproduce, respond to the environment… today- transport
5
CB 35.9 Types of Plant Cells: defined by function and cell wall
6
CB 6.9
7
CB 35.9 60 m Parenchyma cells- most common cells; primary cell walls
8
CB 35.16 Parenchyma in a stem
9
CB 35.9 Collenchyma cells- unevenly thickened cell walls; flexible support 80 m
10
Collenchyma in a leaf
11
CB 35.9 Sclerenchyma cells- Thickened secondary walls (inside primary wall); with lignin; rigid 5 m 25 m
12
CB 35.9 Water conducting cells of Xylem: vessels and tracheids (types of sclerenchyma) 100 m
13
Sugar conducting cells of Phloem: sieve-tubes and companion cells 15 m 30 m CB 35.9
14
CB 35.18 Plants transport water, sugar, minerals, hormones, etc through the vascular system comprised of xylem and phloem
15
CB 36.2 Water travels from ground out through stomata via xylem
16
CB 36.2 The exit of water through stomata is accompanied by gas exchange
17
CB 36.2 Sunlight powers photosynthesis and these sugars are transported via phloem
18
The direction of Phloem transport is versatile.
19
CB 36.8 Plant cell to cell transport can occur by two pathways: symp[lastic and apoplastic plasmodesmata
20
CB 36.17 Sugar is loaded at sources and unloaded at sinks
21
CB 36.18 Sugar is loaded at sources and unloaded at sinks source: leaf sink: root, flower, emerging leaf etc…
22
CB 35.18 Plants transport water, sugar, minerals, hormones…
23
CB 36.7 Much of plant support comes from turgor pressure.
24
CB 36.13 Water moves from the ground through roots into the shoot and out stomata in the leaves.
25
CB 35.12 and.13 In roots the vascular bundle is in the center
26
CB 36.9 The casparian strip of the endodermis keeps water from entering the xylem via a purely apoplastic route.
27
CB 36.13 What moves the water through the xylem?
28
CB 35.17
29
Stomata control entry of CO 2 and exit of H 2 O from plant leaves Stomata CB 36.12
30
Stomata on the underside of a leaf
31
CB 36.15 Guard cell opening is regulated by turgor
32
CB 36.13 What moves the water through the xylem? Transpiration, Adhesion, Cohesion, and Tension
33
water transport limits plant growth
34
xylem phloem More xylem is needed for more water transport: secondary growth
35
xylem phloem Xylem is tough, and full of lignin- inhibits the ability to use plants to produce biofuels
