Study Notes
Overview of Organ Systems
- Complex organisms are organized into organ systems.
- Each organ system consists of multiple organs.
- Organs are made up of different tissues.
- Tissues contain specialized cells with specific functions.
Importance of Plants
- Plants are vital for life, as they provide food and oxygen.
- They play a crucial role in regulating the water and carbon cycles in the biosphere.
Characteristics of Plant Cells
- Composed of multicellular structures with a defined nucleus.
- Contain specialized organelles for distinct functions.
- Unique organelles in plant cells include:
- Cell Wall: Provides shape, support, and protection.
- Chloroplasts: Responsible for photosynthesis.
- Vacuole: Large fluid-filled sac that stores metabolites and maintains turgor pressure.
Plant Structural Systems
- Plants consist of two main structural systems:
- Shoot System: Above-ground parts like leaves, stems, fruits, and flowers.
- Root System: Below-ground components, including roots and tubers.
Classification of Plant Tissues
- Plant tissues are categorized based on structure and function:
- Dermal Tissue: Protective outer layer, includes epidermis (outermost layer).
-
Ground Tissue: Inner plant tissue, comprises:
- Parenchyma: Involved in storage, photosynthesis, and tissue repair.
- Sclerenchyma: Provides structural support and strength.
- Collenchyma: Offers flexible support to growing parts of the plant.
- Vascular Tissue: Responsible for transport of water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant.
