B. Parts1. Xylem

• X shaped

• center of the root

= vascular tissue

that transports

water up to the stems.

2. Phloem

=vascular tissue that transports food down from the leaves and stems.

• Roots have 4 bundles of phloem found in the “corners” of the xylem.

3. Cambium

= Growth tissue that produces new xylem and phloem.

• Found between the xylem and phloem.

C. two types of root systems1. Taproot system• composed of a few

large roots

examples: carrot,

tree.

2. Fibrous root system• composed of a mat of

tiny roots.

Example: grass

1. Potatoes are

called tubers.

• Swollen tip

of an underground

stem.

1. Function• Photosynthesis!

• Transport Food

• Store Food

2. PartsA. Cuticle

=waxy, waterproof covering.– Not made of cells.

B. Upper Epidermis– like skin.– made of cells.

Page 29: Roots, Stems, Leaves, & Flowers Notes. I. Roots Roots A. Functions Absorb water and minerals. Transport water up to the stem. Store water and food. Anchor.

C. Lower Epidermis– Stomata

= holes that let CO2 in and H2O out.

– Guard Cells

= cells that surround the stomata.– Transpiration

= plants release water from stomata.

F. Veins

• Xylem– Bring water into the leaf.– Top of the vein.

• Phloem– Takes sugar from the leaf.– Bottom of the vein.

3. Turgor=pressure of water inside a plant cell

– Causes the cell membrane to press against the cell wall.

– Causes the cell to be stiff.– High Turgor causes the leaf to be

rigid.– Low Turgor causes the leaf to be

wilted.

IV. Flowers

Page 37: Roots, Stems, Leaves, & Flowers Notes. I. Roots Roots A. Functions Absorb water and minerals. Transport water up to the stem. Store water and food. Anchor.

A. Function of Flowers• Flowers are for sexual reproduction.

• Flowers produce seeds and fruit.

B. Parts of a Flower1. Pistil

= female reproductive structure.

Page 39: Roots, Stems, Leaves, & Flowers Notes. I. Roots Roots A. Functions Absorb water and minerals. Transport water up to the stem. Store water and food. Anchor.

The Pistil contains three main parts:a. Stigma= top of the pistil where

the pollen sticks.b. Style= stalkc. Ovary=bottom of the pistil.=produces ovules

– Ovules are the female gametophytes.

2. Stamen= male reproductive structure• Produces pollen• Pollen is the male gametophyte• 2 parts

(1) Filament = stalk

(1) Anther = pollen producing sac

3. Petals• Modified leaves• Often Colorful• Often attracts pollinators• Often produces

nectar• Protect the

developing reproductive organs

4. Sepals

• Modified leaves

• Often green

• Protect the un-opened flower

Page 44: Roots, Stems, Leaves, & Flowers Notes. I. Roots Roots A. Functions Absorb water and minerals. Transport water up to the stem. Store water and food. Anchor.

C. Pollination

= the transfer of the pollen from an anther to a stigma.

• Birds

• Bees

• Wind

D. Fertilization

= Fusing of the male and female gamete.

• Flowers undergo double fertilization

• The results are the zygote

and the endosperm.

E. Fruit

= ripened ovary

= if it contains seeds in an ovary wall, it is a fruit.

F. Seed Dispersal

• Tasty fruits and seeds are eaten and deposited in a nice pile of “fertilizer”

• Stickery fruits hang on to fur and britches

• Aerodynamic fruits are blown

• Floaty fruits disperse by water
