plant systems

the system in a flowering plant that is specialized to conduct photosynthesis and reproduce sexually; it consists of the leaf, flower and the stem

the system in a flowering plant, fern, or conifer that anchors the plant, absorbs water and minerals, and stores food

main photosynthetic structure some leaves are adapted for support, production, reproduction and attraction some are edible, sources of waxes and medicines

specialized structures developed for sexual reproduction contains male and/or female reproductive structures male - produces pollen grains female - produces eggs

eggs are fertilized by pollen, after pollination, female flower parts form seeds

flowers are small and drab, but produce a lot of pollen

flowers are large, colourful and fragrant

the fleshy or dry ripened ovary of a flowering plant, enclosing the seed(s)

supports branches, leaves and flowers and provides a way to transport materials significant amounts of vascular tissue for carrying substances to and from roots, leaves, flowers and fruits -SPECIALIZED STEMS food storage, protection, photosynthesis, reproduction

an undifferentiated plant cell that can divide and differentiate to form specialized cells

forms the outermost layer of a plant. includes epidermal and periderm tissues

a thin layer of cells covering all non-woody surfaces of a plant

tissue on the surface of a plant that produces bark on stems and roots

transportation system that moves water, mineral and other chemicals around the plant. like a network of tubes that reaches from the roots, up the stalk and through the leaves

vascular tissue in plants that transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves and stems of the plant

vascular tissue in plants that transports dissolved food materials and hormones throughout the plant

GREEN PARTS manufactures nutrients through photosynthesis. ROOTS stores carbohydrates. STEMS provides storage and support

is the process that enables plants to build glucose from simple molecules using light energy

a layer of tall closely packed cells containing chloroplasts, just below the upper surface of a leaf; a type of ground tissue

a region of loosely packed cells containing chloroplasts, in the middle of the leaf; a type of ground tissue

Thin waxy layer that keeps leaves from drying out and prevents gases from entering the leaf by direct diffusion

Undifferentiated cells are the tips of plant roots and shoots; cells that divide, enabling a plant to grow longer and develop specialized tissues

Undifferentiated cells under the bark in the stems and Roos of woody plants; cells that divide, enabling the plant to grow wider and develop specialized tissues in the stem
