Study Notes
Plant Structure and Functions
- Root hairs are responsible for increasing the surface area of the root, allowing for more efficient absorption of water and minerals from the soil.
Plant Transport System
- The xylem is the plant structure responsible for the conduction of water and transport of food.
Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis primarily occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
- Chlorophyll plays a crucial role in plant cells by facilitating photosynthesis, absorbing light energy, and converting it into chemical energy.
Plant Transpiration
- The leaves (stomata) are responsible for transpiration and gaseous exchange.
Root Structure and Functions
- Xylem tissue conducts water in plants from the roots, which absorb water from the surrounding soil.
- Root hairs are responsible for increasing the surface area of the root, allowing for more efficient absorption of water and minerals from the soil.
- The region of the root specialized for rapid cell division and root elongation is the apical meristem.
- The primary root that grows from the radicle of the embryo is called the taproot.
- The endodermis is the layer in the internal structure of the root that helps in absorption of water and minerals from the soil.
