    Study Notes

    Getting to Know Plants

    • Plants come in many different sizes, shapes, and colors.
    • Plants have different parts: stem, branches, roots, leaves, and flowers.
    • Herbs are smaller than humans and have tender stems; shrubs are around the size of humans and have harder stems; trees are very tall and have very hard stems.
    • Creepers have weak stems that spread along the ground.
    • Climbers have weak stems that need support to climb up, they use structures like walls or trees.
    • Stems conduct water throughout the plant, carrying dissolved minerals with it.
    • Leaves are attached to the stem by a petiole.
    • Roots anchor the plant in the soil and absorb water and minerals.
    • Flowers have different parts: sepals (green, leaf-like structures protecting the bud), petals (colorful, attracting pollinators), stamens (male reproductive organs, including anther and filament), and pistil (female reproductive organ, including stigma, style, and ovary).
    • Stamens produce pollen.
    • Ovaries contain ovules, which develop into seeds after fertilization.
    • The structure of flowers can vary, with different numbers of sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils.
