New section begins today. PLANTS
I would like you to write down what you know about plants.
Your answer should include where they occur, what forms they
take, and 5 ways that make them important.
Next, draw a plant. It can be big or small and you can draw it
with or without flowers.
When you are done, think about how water enters and leaves the
plants and what the purpose of leaves, roots, stems, and flowers
are for.

Define the following words:
Vascular plants – plants with water and nutrient conducting
cells/tissue. All higher plants, trees, shrubs, and ferns.
Non-vascular plants – plants without organized tissue to
conduct water and nutrients – moss, algae, and other protista.
Xylem –
Phloem –
Sepal
Petal
Stamen
Carpel
Ovary

What are living tissues?
look up living tissue on your electronic devices and make
a list with the person next to you. If you want to look at
animal tissues that is fine, but we are interested in plants today.
Using the illustration on page 642, figure 21.2, draw that plant.
Label the “dermal”, “ground”, and “vascular” tissue.
What is the purpose of each? Describe their purpose in your
notes.
Vascular plants – plants with water and nutrient conducting
cells/tissue. All higher plants, trees, shrubs, and ferns.
Non-vascular plants – plants without organized tissue to
conduct water and nutrients – moss, algae, and other protista.

Phloem –

What are the purposes
of the petals, carpel,
and stamen?

Today’s objective is to review the plant tissues,
parts of a plant leaf, and parts of a flower.
You should be able to understand the structure
and biological function of each part.
Explain how the following plant organs and tissues are directly related
to these four physiological processes:
(Physiology – the scientific study of function in living systems)
Photosynthesis
Leaves
Stomata
Guard cells
Stems
Phloem
- Cellular
- Transpiration
Respiration

Plant tissues are made of three basic cell types.
Parenchyma cells are the most common plant cell type.
• store starch, oils and water
• found throughout plant
• can divide throughout life
• help heal wounds to the plant
• have thin flexible walls
Collenchyma cells provide support to a growing plant.
– they are strong and flexible.
– celery strings are strands of collenchyma.
– they have unevenly thick cell walls.
Sclerenchyma cells are the strongest plant cell type.
– second cell wall hardened by lignin
– die when they reach maturity
– used by humans to make linen and rope
Plant organs are made of three tissue systems.
1) Dermal tissue covers the outside of a plant.
• protects the plant
• made of live parenchyma cells in non-woody plants
• some covered by waxy cuticle
• dead parenchyma forms outer bark of trees
2) Ground tissue is found inside a plant.
• provides support
• stores materials in roots and stems
• packed with chloroplasts in leaves
• most commonly made of parenchyma
3) Meristematic/Vascular tissue transports water, minerals
and organic compounds.
• makes up xylem and
phloem
• xylem transports water
and minerals
• phloem transports

SCHS IB Academic Honesty Policy
HONESTY and INTEGRITY form the cornerstone of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Honor
Code at Spruce Creek High School, and as such are central to the high standards by which all
students should live. The IB Honor Code begins with the belief that every student has the right
to pursue an education free from the ills caused by any form of intellectual dishonesty.
I understand that the IB course of study is difficult, and while group study is both accepted and
encouraged, ethical conduct is expected at all times. Academic violations of the Honor Code
consist of the following: CHEATING includes the actual giving or receiving of any unauthorized
aid or assistance on any form of any academic work. PLAGIARISM includes the copying of or
representation of another’s idea or work as one’s own.
INHERENT in this Code is the responsibility of an individual to come forth and report any form of
violation in the Honor Code. Violations of the Honor Code will be handled in accordance with
written teacher policy and considered a disciplinary matter to be generally handled as follows:
