Study Notes
Plant Systems
- Plants are essential for the ecosystem and human life
- There are five key systems within plants: reproduction, development, nutrition, gas exchange, and transport
- Plants are comprised of organs: roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruit
- Similar cells work together to form tissues
- Tissues combine to form organs
- Plants produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis which is crucial for human and animal respiration
- Plants absorb carbon dioxide and help mitigate climate change by regulation
- Plants help prevent soil erosion by keeping soil in place
- Plants provide a variety of habitats and environments for biodiversity
- Plants are a major source of food for humans and animals, and provide essential nutrients
- Plants provide raw materials for various industries, including wood, fibers, and oils
- Plants provide medicines, such as aspirin derived from willow bark
- Plant-based biofuels are a renewable energy source
- Plants contribute directly to economic growth through agriculture, forestry, and horticulture
- Traditional and modern medicine rely on plant-based compounds
Plant Party!
- Students are instructed to set up a plant party experiment
- Use two pots and fill them with soil, one with clay soil, the other with loam
- The pots with loam should be placed in different locations, one with sunlight, the other with limited sunlight
- Water the plants with equal amounts and check them regularly
- Remove the plants from the pots and remove the soil from the roots
- Place plants in a drying oven and record findings
