Study Notes
Flowering Plant Diagram
-
Reproductive shoot (flower): Essential structure for reproduction in flowering plants, facilitating pollination and seed production.
-
Apical bud: The primary growth point of the plant, producing auxin, which promotes vertical growth and elongation.
-
Node: Location on the stem where leaves are attached; provides structural support and aids in healing plant tissues.
-
Internode: Sections of the stem between nodes; plays a crucial role in transporting water, hormones, and nutrients throughout the plant.
-
Leaf: A crucial organ for photosynthesis; captures light, facilitates gas exchange, regulates temperature, and protects against herbivory.
-
Blade: The flat part of the leaf that extends from the petiole, contributing to photosynthesis by maximizing light absorption.
-
Petiole: The stalk that connects the leaf blade to the stem at a node, supporting the leaf and facilitating transport.
-
Axillary bud: Located in the leaf axil, it has the potential to develop into a lateral branch, thorn, or flower, enhancing plant growth and reproduction.
-
Stem: Central part of the plant that elongates to position leaves for optimal light exposure, important for photosynthesis.
-
Taproot: A strong root that penetrates deeply into the soil, providing stability and preventing the plant from toppling over during adverse conditions.
-
Lateral (branch) roots: Secondary roots that extend outward, responsible for nutrient absorption and enhancing the overall root system's stability.
-
Shoot system: Comprises the stems and leaves; responsible for importing photosynthates (sugars and carbon dioxide) necessary for plant growth.
-
Root system: Anchors the plant securely in the soil while also taking in water and essential nutrients needed for survival and growth.
