Study Notes
Plant Structure and Function
- The root differentiates into vascular tissue, xylem and phloem, in the zone of differentiation and matures in the zone of maturation.
- The root functions include anchorage, mineral uptake, food storage, and vegetative propagation.
- The stem provides support, transports water and minerals, stores food, and allows vegetative reproduction.
- Leaves consist of a petiole and a flattened blade with veins that can be parallel in monocots or branched in dicots.
- The main functions of leaves are photosynthesis, food storage, and excretion of waste products.
- Flowers are the reproductive organs and attract pollinators for sexual reproduction.
- Dermal tissue acts as a protective outer covering with stomata for gaseous exchange and lenticels in woody plants.
- Ground tissue functions in photosynthesis, storage, protection, and support.
- Vascular tissue includes xylem and phloem, with xylem transporting water and minerals and providing support through lignin.
- Xylem vessels are narrow, heavily lignified, and dead when mature, while tracheids are thickened and contain no cell contents.
- Phloem consists of sieve tube cells for transport and companion cells for sugar pumping, transporting food and hormones to all plant cells.
- Meristematic tissue is the area of rapid cell division in plants, producing unspecified cells for growth.
