Functions

Life Cycles of Plants
• Annual-a plant that completes its life cycle in
one year
• Biennial-a plant that completes its life cycle in
two years
• Perennial-a plant that lives more than two
years

Leaf Retention
• Deciduous-loses leaves during the dormant
season
• Evergreen-keeps leaves and remains green
year-round

Moisture in Plants
• Turgid-plant is swollen or filled with moisture
• Wilted-plant is limp because it does not have
enough moisture

Leaves-External
• Petiole-leaf stalk or part that connects the leaf
to the stem
• Blade-the large, flat part of the leaf
• Midrib-the large center vein
• Veins-the structural framework of the leaf
• Margin-the edge of the leaf

Leaves-Internal
• Upper and lower epidermis-skin of the leaf
that prevents the loss of too much moisture
• Stomates-small openings under the leaf for
breathing or transpiration
• Guard Cells-open and close stomates

Leaves-Internal
• Chloroplasts-small green particles that contain
chlorophyll
– gives leaves their green color
– necessary for photosynthesis

Stems-External
• Lenticels-breathing pores
• Bud scale scars-show where terminal buds
have been located
• Leaf Scars-show where leaves were
attached
• Terminal bud-bud on the end of a stem
• Axillary or lateral bud-bud on side of stem

Stems-Internal
• Xylem-tissue that transports water and
nutrients up from the roots to stems and
leaves
• Phloem-tissue that transports food down from
leaves to roots

Stems-Internal
• Cambium-thin, green, actively growing tissue
located between bark and wood and produces
all new stem cells
• Bark-old inactive phloem
• Heartwood-old inactive xylem
• Sapwood-new active xylem

Stems-Internal
• Monocota-plant stems have vascular bundles
that contain both xylem and phloem in each
bundle
– examples: corn, grasses
• Dicata-plant stems have the phloem layer and
xylem layer separated by cambium
– example: trees

Roots-External
• Root cap-indicates growth of new cells
• Root hairs-absorb moisture (water) and
minerals

Roots-Internal
• Much like stems in that they have a phloem,
cambium, and xylem layer
• Phloem-the outer layer that carries food down
the root
• Xylem-the inner layer that carries water and
minerals up to the stem

Layers of Roots
• Fibrous-many branched shallow roots
– are easier to transplant
• Tap-long root with few branched ones
– more difficult to transplant

Flowers
• Sepals-Green parts that cover and protect
flower bud before it opens
• Petals-are really leaves that are modified to
attract insects for flower pollination, the
pretty part that we call flowers
• Stamen-male part of the flower
• Pistil-female part of the flower

What are the functions
of these plant parts?
Copyright of www.makemegenius.com, for more videos ,visit us.
Functions of Leaves
• Photosynthesis-manufactures food in green
plants which is the beginning of the food
chain for all living things
• Photosynthesis is the process by which carbon
dioxide and water in the presence of light are
converted to sugar and oxygen
Copyright of www.makemegenius.com, for more videos ,visit us.
Functions of Stems
• Translocation-moves water and minerals from
roots up to the leaves and move food from the
leaves down to the roots
• Supports branches, leaves, flowers, fruits and
seeds
Copyright of www.makemegenius.com, for more videos ,visit us.
Functions of Roots
• Absorption-take water and nutrients from the
soil and conduct them to the stem
• Anchor the plant and hold it upright
• Store food for plant use
• Asexual reproduction in some plants
Copyright of www.makemegenius.com, for more videos ,visit us.
Functions of Flowers
• Produce seeds used for sexual reproduction
• Attract insects for pollination (Pollination is
the transfer of pollen from anther to stigma.)
• Produce fruit to protect, nourish and carry
seeds
