Study Notes
Plant Adaptations
- Plant adaptations are specialized structures or features that help plants survive in specific environments.
Leaf Cell Conditions and Shapes
- Leaf cells with many chloroplasts are typically found in leaves with a ** lanceolate** shape.
- Leaves with few chloroplasts per cell are often circular or oval.
Plant Features and Functions
- Stomata in the epidermis allow for gas exchange and contribute to the leaf's function.
- Guard cells are located in the epidermis and control the opening and closing of stomata.
- Bulliform cells are specialized cells found in the epidermis, which help to fold leaves when water is scarce.
- Cuticle is a waxy layer on the surface of the leaf that prevents water loss, similar to human skin.
Leaf Adaptations and Environments
- Xerophytic leaves are adapted to dry environments, with features such as thick cuticles and rolled leaves.
- Hydrophytic leaves are adapted to aquatic environments, with features such as large air spaces and thin cuticles.
- Mesophytic leaves are adapted to moderate environments, with features such as moderate cuticles and scattered air spaces.
Leaf Components and Descriptions
- Palisade mesophyll is a layer of cells with many chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs.
- Spongy mesophyll is a layer of cells with few chloroplasts, where gas exchange occurs.
- Epidermis is the outer layer of the leaf, with stomata and guard cells.
Leaf Sections and Labels
- Upper epidermis is the outer layer on the top of the leaf.
- Lower epidermis is the outer layer on the bottom of the leaf.
- Palisade mesophyll is the layer of cells with many chloroplasts.
- Spongy mesophyll is the layer of cells with few chloroplasts.
Leaf Characteristics and Terms
- Veins are the vascular tissues that run across the leaf blade.
- Venation is the pattern of veins running across the leaf blade.
- Simple leaf is a leaf with a single blade, as opposed to a compound leaf.
- Pinnate leaf is a type of compound leaf with leaflets that occur in a featherlike pattern.
Plant Body and Stem
- Shoot system includes all the stems and leaves of a plant.
- Axillary buds are found at the joints of stems and are responsible for branching.
- Primary root of most plants originates from the seedling.
Plant Structure and Function
- Root system is the structure that comprises the architecture of most plants.
- Stems are the primary supporting structures in plants, responsible for transporting water, nutrients, and sugars.
- The main function of the cells with many chloroplasts is to carry out photosynthesis.
