    Study Notes

    Plant Anatomy Overview

    • The study of the internal structure and organization of plants
    • Deals with the shape, size, and arrangement of cells, tissues, and organs

    Plant Cells

    • Eukaryotic cells with cell walls made of cellulose
    • Have plastids (chloroplasts, chromoplasts, leucoplasts) for photosynthesis and pigment synthesis
    • Have a large central vacuole for storage and maintenance of cell turgor pressure

    Plant Tissues

    • Dermal tissue: outer layer of cells, protects plant from water loss and pathogens
    • Ground tissue: inner tissue, responsible for storage, support, and photosynthesis
    • Vascular tissue: transports water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant

    Plant Organs

    • Roots: absorb water and minerals, anchor plant in soil
    • Stems: support plant, transport materials, and store food
    • Leaves: site of photosynthesis, regulate water loss

    Root Structure

    • Root cap: protects root tip during growth
    • Epidermis: outer layer, regulates water and ion uptake
    • Cortex: inner tissue, stores food and water
    • Xylem: transports water and minerals from roots to leaves
    • Phloem: transports sugars and organic compounds from leaves to roots

    Stem Structure

    • Epidermis: outer layer, regulates water loss and protects stem
    • Cortex: inner tissue, stores food and water
    • Xylem: transports water and minerals from roots to leaves
    • Phloem: transports sugars and organic compounds from leaves to roots

    Leaf Structure

    • Cuticle: outer waxy layer, reduces water loss
    • Epidermis: outer layer, regulates gas exchange and water loss
    • Mesophyll: inner tissue, site of photosynthesis
    • Chloroplasts: organelles responsible for photosynthesis

    Vascular Tissue

    • Xylem: transports water and minerals from roots to leaves
      • Tracheids: dead cells that transport water and minerals
      • Vessel elements: dead cells that transport water and minerals
    • Phloem: transports sugars and organic compounds from leaves to roots
      • Sieve cells: living cells that transport sugars and organic compounds
      • Companion cells: living cells that support sieve cells
