Study Notes
Plant Structure and Function
- Most plants around us are angiosperms or flowering plants, which produce seeds inside a fruit.
- Agriculture is heavily dependent on angiosperms, as crops are angiosperms that provide food for humans and animals.
Vegetative Structures
- Responsible for increasing plant size, height, and mass.
- Examples: leaves, stem, branches.
Reproductive Structures
- Responsible for producing new plants with parental characteristics.
- Examples: flower, fruit, seeds.
Vegetative Propagation (Asexual Reproduction)
- Under certain conditions, vegetative parts can be used for reproduction.
- Can be done using stem, leaf, or roots.
Monocotyledon and Dicotyledon
Monocotyledon Characteristics
- Narrow leaves with parallel veins.
- Examples: grass, sugarcane, rice plants.
- Fibrous root system.
- Petals normally in groups of three.
Dicotyledon Characteristics
- Wide leaves with a network of veins (except dasheen, which has wide leaves and netted veins).
- Examples: palm tree, trees, shrubs, soft-stemmed plants.
- Tap root system.
- Petals normally in groups of four or five (e.g., lily).
