    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
