Study Notes
Plant Parts and Their Functions
- Flower: Reproductive structure of the plant.
-
Leaf: Attached to the stem; responsible for:
- Photosynthesis: Generates food using sunlight.
- Respiration: Facilitates gas exchange.
- Transpiration: Evaporates water from the plant.
- Fruit: Contains seeds for reproduction.
- Vegetable: Edible plant parts such as roots, stems, and leaves.
- Stem: Supports the plant, grows towards light, transports water and nutrients.
-
Roots: Composed of main root, root tip, and root hair; functions include:
- Absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.
- Anchoring the plant firmly in position.
Classification of Plants
-
Vascular Plants: Possess xylem and phloem for nutrient transportation.
- Examples: Trees and flowers.
- Reproduction: Through seeds (angiosperms and gymnosperms).
-
Nonvascular Plants: Lack a vascular system, generally small and found in moist environments.
- Example: Moss.
Reproduction in Vascular Plants
-
Plants with Seeds: Two main groups:
- Angiosperms: Produce flowers; seeds enclosed within fruits. Subdivided into monocots and dicots.
- Gymnosperms: Have seeds exposed, typically found in cones (e.g., pine trees).
Flower Parts
- Stamen: Male reproductive component made of filament and anther which produces pollen.
- Sepals: Small green leaves that protect the flower bud.
- Petals: Colorful parts attracting pollinators; collectively referred to as the corolla.
-
Pistil: Female reproductive structure, includes:
- Style: Connects stigma to ovary.
- Stigma: Receives pollen during pollination.
- Ovary: Houses the seeds.
Pollination
- Occurs when pollen grains move from anther of one flower to stigma of another.
- Pollinators: Include wind, water, insects (like bees), birds, bats, and various animals that assist in the transfer of pollen.
Study Resources
- Extra materials and resources can be accessed through the Edusystem portal and various educational websites to reinforce understanding of plant biology topics.
