Plant Organ systems Flashcards
A plant has 2 organ systems
A shoot system + Root system,
Shoot System
Everything above the ground
Root System
Everything below ground and Ariel roots
Anchors the plant into the soil
Roots
Transports water and nutrients throughout the plant ( vascular tissue)
Stem
Collects water from the soil and transport it to the stem
Roots
Stores food that is made in other parts of the plant
Roots
Root Cap
The bottom of the root covered with protective epidermal Tissue
Epidermal Tissue
It is made of a single layer of cells, and the cells are closely packed to each other without any intercellular spaces.
Root Cap
The bottom of the root is covered with protective epidermal Tissue
Meristematic Tissue
contains undifferentiated cells, which are the building blocks of the specialized plant structures.
Below the epidermal tissue
Layers of ground tissues and vascular tissues make up the centre of the root
Ground tissues
all the other tissue in a plant that isn’t dermal tissue or vascular tissue.
Vascular Tissue
comprised of the xylem and the phloem,
The tissues of the leaf work together to accomplish-
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis occurs in ground tissues called
Stomata
