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).
Learn about the structure and function of plants, specifically angiosperms, and their importance in agriculture. Discover how flowering plants produce seeds inside fruits and how they contribute to food production for humans and animals. Explore the vegetative and reproductive structures of plants and their role in plant growth.
