Study Notes
Seed Structure
- Cotyledons are the seed leaves that provide nutrients to the developing seedling
- The seed coat protects the seed from drying out and provides a barrier against pathogens and insects
Root Types
- There are two main types of roots: taproots and fibrous roots
- Taproots have a single main root that grows downward, while fibrous roots have multiple small roots that spread outward
Plant Stem Functions
- Xylem tissue in the plant stem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the leaves
Photosynthesis
- Most photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of mesophyll cells, typically located in the leaves
