Study Notes
Plant Structures and Functions
- Plants and animals have different life cycles
- Plants are rooted in soil and use sunlight to make their food
- Plants interact with fungi and other organisms
- Plants can adapt to their environment by adjusting stem length or leaf positioning
- Plants react to external factors such as light, nutrients, temperature, and gravity and internal factors such as plant hormones.
- Plants defend themselves with thorns, spines, and leaf hairs.
Plant Defense Mechanisms
- Plants defend against herbivores using thorns, spines, and hairs
- Some medicinal products come from plants used for defense
Plant and Animal Interactions
- Some plants have mutualistic relationships with certain animals
- Acacia trees provide homes and food for ants, while the ants protect the trees from herbivores.
Plant Organs
- Plant organs include roots, shoots, leaves, and flowers
- Dicotyledon and Monocotyledon plants have differences in organ structure
- Root systems anchor the plant, absorb minerals and water, and provide support, example: fibrous, taproot, and buttress
- Shoot systems are the above-ground part of the plant
- Leaves are the primary sites for photosynthesis
- Flower structures vary greatly depending on the species; they have sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils, which are specialized for reproduction.
Plant Reproduction
- Plants utilize both sexual and asexual reproduction
- Many have flowers as essential reproductive units
- Structures include sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils
- The male reproductive structures of flowers are stamens.
- The female reproductive structures are pistils.
Seed Development and Dispersal
- Seed development begins after fertilization, with a hard outer coat for protection
- Seeds contain the embryo plant and stored food, such as endosperm or cotyledons
- Fruits surround and protect the developing seeds and aid in seed dispersal mechanisms.
- Dispersal methods include animal consumption, wind, water or ballistic dispersal.
Primary Growth
- Primary growth increases the length of plant roots and shoots
- Meristems are involved. Apical meristem produces new cells for elongation
- Intercalary meristems are located at the base of the plant
- Secondary growth increases the thickness of woody plants
Vascular Tissue
- Vascular tissue transports water, mineral nutrients, and organic molecules
- Xylem transports water and nutrients upwards
- Phloem moves photosynthetic products from leaves to other parts
Plant Tissues
- Dermal tissue - outer covering or skin of the plants
- Vascular tissue - transports water and nutrients
- Ground tissue - photosynthesis and storage
- Parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma are three basic cell types in plants.
Plant Propagation
- Methods like cuttings, grafting, and runners support asexual reproduction.
- Cloning can be useful for creating genetically identical plants.
Plant Structures and Functions - Further Exploration
- Some plants have highly modified leaves (spines, tendrils)
- Flowers are specialized shoots with sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils
- Both sexual and asexual reproduction
Other Important Points
- Plants exhibit varied growth patterns and adaptations to different environments
- Different types of plants/organs have specific functions and structures
- Plant organs, tissues, and cells work in coordinated ways for survival, reproduction, and growth
