-
- Fibrous root system
- Reach a greater surface area
-
- Tap Root system
- good for anchoring plant. not so great for surface area.
-
- Terminal bud
- Dominant bud at the end/on top of the stem
-
The space or portion of the stem that connect the leaf to the major stem of the plant
-
A bud that occurs between the axil of the stem and a leaf of the plant. can become mitotically active producing a new shoot
-
Node
The part of the stem where leaves or new shoots originate
-
Internode
The part of the stem that lies between the nodes
-
-
-
- Dicot Root
- buttercup plant
-
- Monocot Root
- greenbriar plant
-
Stomata
Openings on the leafs surface that allows gases to flow in and out of it during respiration and photosynthesis
-
Guard cells
surround the stoma and control the opening and closing of the stoma based on the internal characteristics of the plant
-
-
Function of Stems
- 1. they support the structure of the shoot system
- 2. they transport substances between the roots and leaves
- 3. green stems produce food by photosynthesis
- 4. they act as food and water storage sites
Vascular- ploem and xylem
-
Function of Leaves
they produce food and have systems that regulate the respiration and photosynthesis of plants
-
Function of Roots
what system?
- 1. anchor plant into the soil
- 2. absorb water and minerals
- 3. transport water and minerals into the shoot
- 4. they store food for the plant
Shoot system.
-
Difference between primary growth and secondary growth
- primary growth is the vertical growth of the root and shoot length. The cells increase in length.
- secondary growth is the growth of the diameter of the plant and the girth of the stem.
