Study Notes
1.0 Understanding Plant Structures and Processes
- Plant structures and processes help us understand plant needs
1.1 Seed Plants
- Seed plants are the largest group of plant types
- Each seed plant part has specific functions
1.2 Plant Processes
Moving Water Up From the Roots
- Water moves from the roots to other parts of the plant through multiple processes
- Osmosis: a type of diffusion where only some particles pass through a barrier (differentially permeable membrane); water diffuses
- Capillary action: water particles attract each other and tube sides; pushing and pulling diffuses water through the xylem in the stem
- Active Transport: moves water and nutrients across a concentration gradient, requiring energy
Making Food
- Chlorophyll makes leaves green
- Chlorophyll traps sunlight's energy into chemical energy
- Plants use carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis to make sugar and release oxygen
- Respiration releases oxygen at night when photosynthesis isn't occurring
Using Food
- Cellular Respiration: a gas exchange process where plants release carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen
- Water enters and leaves the cells through guard cells which open and close stomata (pores)
- Cellular respiration equation: Sugar + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
