Plant Science
In
this unit you will learn about:
• Plant and animal cells
• Structure of a plant (leaf, stem , root, etc)
• Photosynthesis, Respiration, Osmosis, Translocation,
Active Transport, etc.
• Sexual Reproduction in a flowering plant.
• Plant hormones
• Food Biomolecules and their tests.
Plant Cells
Has a cell Wall
Has a large Vacuole
Has Chloroplasts
Animal Cells
Has no cell wall
Has small
vacuoles
Has no
Chloroplast
Photosynthesis
Transpiration
Gaseous
Exchange
Food Storage
Stomata- Gaseous Exchange
Lenticels-Gaseous
Exchange in Stems
State
3 differences between plant and animal
cells.
Give 4 functions of a leaf.
Where does gaseous exchange take place in the
leaf?.
Where does gaseous exchange take place in the
stem?.
Is
the loss of water vapour from the surface of the
leaf of the plant
The
movement of food around the plant.
Phloem tissue
In both directions
Sugar is transported from the leaf to the root.
Beet root.
Vascular Tissue
Xylem- transports water and minerals.
Phloem- transports food.
Parenchyma
Cells-Photosynthetic Cells
Schlerenchyma Cells- Strengthening Cells
Collenchyma Cells- Strengthening Cells
Meristematic Tissue- cell Division
Ground Tissue- bulk of cell. Photosynthesis takes
place here.
Vascular Tissue- Transport tissue
Xylem- Transports Water and Minerals
Phloem- transports food
State
the balanced chemical equation for
photosynthesis.
Define the term Transpiration.
Define the term Translocation.
Name 2 types of vascular tissue and give their
functions.
Name the cells responsible for strengthening?
Name the cells where photosynthesis takes
place?
Name the cells responsible for cell division
1.
Transports water, minerals from the roots.
2.
Transports food from the leaf
3.
Supports the aerial part of the plant
4.
Stores food e.g. potatoes
T.S.
Monocot
T.S.
Dicot
Functions
Food
Store
Anchorage
Is
the movement of water from an area of high
concentration of water to an area of low
concentration of water across a semi permeable
barrier
Is
the movement of gases from an area of high
concentration to an area of low concentration.
Is
the movement of substances from an area of
low concentration to an area of high
concentration. It requires energy.
Give
functions of the root
Give functions of the stem
Define osmosis, active transport and diffusion.
Compare Monocots to Dicots.
Is
the transfer of pollen from the anther of one
plant to the stigma of another plant
Self Pollination – when pollination occurs
between flowers on the same plant.
Cross
Pollination- when pollination occurs
between flowers of the same species but on
different plant.
Insect
Pollinated
Lily
Large
Flowers
Scented
Brightly coloured
Male and female parts
inside flower
Sticky pollen grains
Small pollen grains
Wind pollinated
Grass
Smaller flowers
Not scented
Not brightly coloured
Male and female parts
outside the petals
Smooth Pollen grains
Large amount of
pollen
Is
the fusion of the male
gamete with the female
gamete.
It forms a Zygote
The zygote divides repeatedly until it forms the
embryo that will contain:
1 or 2 cotyledons with a food store
Plumule
Radicle
The ovary becomes the fruit
Is
the transfer of the seeds/fruit away from the
parent plant
Wind
Water
Animal
Self
Where
a plant suspends all growth and
metabolism
Shortage of hormones
Low temperature
Growth inhibitors
Maximises
growth of the plant.
Allows for seed dispersal
Ensures survival
Is
the regrowth of a plant after a period of
dormancy
Conditions necessary
Water
Oxygen
Warmth
Name
the male and female parts of the flower.
What is a calyx and a corolla.
Define pollination, fertilisation, dormancy and
germination.
Differentiate between self and cross pollination.
Compare wind pollinated flowers to insect
pollinated flowers.
What does a plumule and a radicle develop into?
Define Dormancy
List the conditions necessary for germination.
Describe Epigeal and Hypogeal germination
using examples.
If the cotyledons absorb the endosperm the seed
is NON-ENDOSPERMIC= Broad Bean
If the cotyledons absorb only some of the
endosperm the seed is ENDOSPERMIC = Maize.
Annuals/perennial-
Complete their lifecycle in
one year
Biennials- it takes 2 years to complete their lifecycle.
In the first year the plant grows leaves, stems, and roots (vegetative
structures), then it enters a period of dormancy over the colder
months. During the next spring or summer, the stem of the biennial
plant elongates greatly, The plant then flowers, producing fruits and
seeds before it finally dies.
Naturally
produced in the root and shoot tip.
It promotes cell elongation
Stimulates fruit development.
Promotes root development.(rooting agent)
Control apical dominance
Its used in seedless fruits: Parthenocarpic fruit
IAA
Encourages cell elongation
Promotes seed germination
Cytokinin. Used as a herbicide by massively
increasing rate of growth and the plant cannot
produce enough food and it dies!
A
growth response to a stimulus.
Phototropism- A growth response to light
Geotropism- a growth response to gravity
Thigmotropism- a growth response to touch
Chemotropism- A growth response to chemicals
Hydrotropism- A growth response to water
Thermotropism- A growth response to
temperature.
Clinostat
.
What
is a tropism.
What is phototropism and geotropism?
What piece of apparatus is used to show
geotropism?
Define Aerobic respiration
Give a balanced chemical equation for aerobic
respiration.
An
indicator species is a species that shows the
conditions in habitat.
Examples
• Wet: rushes, moss, buttercup.
• Dry/Sandy: Thistle.
• Low in lime (acidic): Plaintain/rhododendron
• Rich in Lime (alkaline) : Clovers, Chickweed.
