2. Parts of a Plant- What do you remember from kindergarten?  Seed  Roots  Stem  Leaves  Flower

4. Functions of Plant Parts  Seed- this is what a new plant grows from in the presence of water. Growth stops= DORMANCY  Roots- take in water from the soil  Stem-transport of water from roots to leaves and flower  Leaves-PHOTOSYNTHESIS  Flower-Reproduction

5. Structure of a leaf STOMATA!!!!!

6. Structure of a leaf: STOMATA

7. Flowers 1= petal 2= filament 3= anther (2+3=STAMEN) MALE 4= stigma 5=style 6=ovary (4+5+6=CARPEL) FEMALE 7=ovule

8. Functions of parts  Stamen- (anther + filament) These are the flower’s male parts. They have the pollen on them.  Carpels-(stigma, style, ovary) female parts. Pollen travel down the style to the ovary where it fertilizes an egg to make a seed.  Petals-Attract pollinators like bees and some birds

9. Monocot vs. Dicot MonocotDicot Cotyledons (seed leaves) Mono=1Di=2 Leaf Veins ParallelBranched Flower Parts (#petals, stamen, carpels, etc) Always in multiples of 3 (ex. 3, 6, 9) In multiples of 4s and 5s Rootsfibrous Tap root
