Study Notes
Plant Organ Systems
- The root system is responsible for absorbing water and minerals.
Shoot System
- The vegetative parts of the plant in the shoot system include stems, leaves, and buds.
Shoot System Growth
- The shoot system generally grows above ground.
Tissues and Organs
- Different types of tissues working together form an organ, and organs working together form an organ system.
- Organs working together form an organ system in a plant.
Meristematic Tissue
- Cells of the meristematic tissue are found at the tips of shoots and roots, and in between segments of stems.
- The main characteristic of meristematic tissue cells is that they are undifferentiated and can differentiate into different cell types.
Meristem Locations and Functions
- Apical meristems are located at the tips of shoots and roots.
- The function of lateral meristems in a maturing plant is to increase the diameter of the stem.
- Intercalary meristems occur in the internodes of stems and leaves.
