    Study Notes

    Plant Components and Their Functions

    • Primary function of roots in plants is to absorb water and nutrients from the soil, anchoring the plant in place, and storing food.

    Leaf Structure

    • Main function of stomata in plants is to facilitate gas exchange, allowing carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to leave the plant, thus regulating water loss.

    Photosynthesis

    • Role of chlorophyll in plants is to absorb light energy, which is then used to power photosynthesis, producing glucose and oxygen.

    Plant Vascular System

    • Purpose of the xylem tissue in plants is to transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, providing structural support.

    Leaf Adaptations

    • Function of the cuticle in plant leaves is to prevent water loss by forming a waxy, impermeable barrier on the surface of the leaf, protecting it from dryness.
