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.
