Plant Tissue and Functions
- Xylem conducts water and nutrients from roots to other plant parts, facilitating hydration and nutrient uptake.
- Phloem transports sugars produced in photosynthesis from leaves to non-photosynthesizing tissues, ensuring energy distribution.
- Lateral roots enhance stability and absorb water and nutrients from the soil, increasing surface area for water uptake.
- The apical meristem is found at the tips of roots and shoots, responsible for the primary growth of the plant.
Cellular Structures and Processes
- Ribosomes are the cell organelles synthesizing proteins, essential for various cellular functions and activities.
- The cell membrane, a selective barrier, regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.
- The Golgi Apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell, playing a critical role in cellular logistics.
- Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria, where energy (ATP) is produced through the breakdown of glucose using oxygen.
Leaf and Flower Structures
- Axillary buds are located in the angles between the stems and leaves, capable of developing into new branches or flowers.
- The root cap protects the growing tip of the root and helps the root navigate through the soil as it grows.
- The petiole connects the leaf blade to the stem, supporting the leaf and facilitating the transport of nutrients and water.
- The ovules are contained within the ovary of a flower's pistil, involved in reproduction and seed formation.
Specialized Cell Functions
- Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis within plant cells, converting sunlight into chemical energy stored as glucose.
- The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is studded with ribosomes, facilitating the synthesis and processing of proteins destined for export or for use in membranes.
