Plants are the first link in the food chain through photosynthesis. This affects all animals.
I. Concept 35.1: Plant Structure Plants, like multicellular animals, have organs
composed of different tissues, which in turn are composed of cells
A. Three Basic Plant Organs: Roots, Stems, LeavesThey are organized into a root system and a shoot systemRoots rely on sugar produced by photosynthesis in the shoot system, and shoots rely on water and minerals absorbed by the root system

1. Roots Are multicellular organs with important functions:
1) Anchoring the plant2) Absorbing minerals and water3) Storing organic nutrients
A taproot system consists of one main vertical root that gives rise to lateral roots, or branch roots
Adventitious roots arise from stems or leaves Seedless vascular plants and monocots have a
fibrous root system characterized by thin lateral roots with no main root
![Page 5: CHAPTER 35 PLANT STRUCTURE AND GROWTH 1. Plants are the first link in the food chain through photosynthesis. This affects all animals. I. Concept 35.1:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cad5503460f9496f03c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

2. StemsA stem is an organ consisting of:
a. An alternating system of nodes, the points at which leaves are attached
b. Internodes, the stem segments between nodes An axillary bud is a structure that has the potential to
form a lateral shoot, or branch An apical bud, or terminal bud, is located near the
shoot tip and causes elongation of a young shoot Apical dominance helps to maintain dormancy in most
nonapical buds Many plants have modified stems
![Page 8: CHAPTER 35 PLANT STRUCTURE AND GROWTH 1. Plants are the first link in the food chain through photosynthesis. This affects all animals. I. Concept 35.1:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cad5503460f9496f03c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Modified stems include:a.Stolons—horizontal stems growing along surface of
ground (strawberry)b.Rhizomes—horizontal stems growing underground
(iris)c. Tubers—some end in enlarged tubes where food is
stored (potatoes)d.Bulbs—vertical, underground shoots with leaves
modified for food storage (onion)

3. Leavesa. Are the main photosynthetic organ of most vascular plantsb. Leaves generally consist of a flattened blade and a stalk
called the petiole, which joins the leaf to a node of the stemc. Some plant species have evolved modified leaves that
serve various functions

2. Vascular Tissue SystemCarries out long-distance transport of material between roots and shootsTwo types of Vascular Tissue:
a. xylem-transports water and dissolved mineral upward from root into shoots b. phloem-transports organic nutrients from where
they are made to where they are neededVascular tissue of a stem or root is collectively called the steleThe stele of stems and leaves is divided into vascular bundles (strands of xylem and phloem)

3.Sclerenchyma
•Sclerenchyma cells are rigid because of thick secondary walls strengthened with lignin
•They are dead at functional maturity
•There are two types:
a. Sclereids are short and irregular in shape and have thick lignified secondary walls
b. Fibers are long and slender and arranged in threads
![Page 25: CHAPTER 35 PLANT STRUCTURE AND GROWTH 1. Plants are the first link in the food chain through photosynthesis. This affects all animals. I. Concept 35.1:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cad5503460f9496f03c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

4. Xylem•Water conducting cells•Dead cells with secondary walls•Stain red•Consists of two cell types:
a. Tracheids-long, thin, tapered cells with lignin-hardened
secondary walls with pits-water moves from cell to cell through pits-function in support and water transport-more primitive -found in xylem of all vascular plants
![Page 28: CHAPTER 35 PLANT STRUCTURE AND GROWTH 1. Plants are the first link in the food chain through photosynthesis. This affects all animals. I. Concept 35.1:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cad5503460f9496f03c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

II. Concept 35.2: Meristematic TissuesA. A plant can grow throughout its life; this is called
indeterminate growthB. Some plant organs cease to grow at a certain size; this
is called determinate growthC. Life span of flowering plants:
• Annuals complete their life cycle in a year or less• Biennials require two growing seasons• Perennials live for many years
![Page 34: CHAPTER 35 PLANT STRUCTURE AND GROWTH 1. Plants are the first link in the food chain through photosynthesis. This affects all animals. I. Concept 35.1:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cad5503460f9496f03c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
D. Meristems are perpetually embryonic tissue and allow for indeterminate growthApical meristems are located at the tips of roots and
shoots and at the axillary buds of shootsApical meristems elongate shoots and roots, a process
called primary growthLateral meristems add thickness to woody plants, a
process called secondary growthThere are two lateral meristems: the vascular cambium
and the cork cambiumThe vascular cambium adds layers of vascular tissue called
secondary xylem (wood) and secondary phloemThe cork cambium replaces the epidermis with periderm,
which is thicker and tougher

III. Concept 35.3: Primary growth lengthens roots and shoots
Primary growth produces the primary plant body, the parts of the root and shoot systems produced by apical meristems
A. Primary Growth of RootsThe root tip is covered by a root cap, which protects
the apical meristem as the root pushes through soilGrowth occurs just behind the root tip, in three zones
of cells:1.Zone of cell division•Near tip and includes the apical meristem•Quiescent center is made up of reserve replacement cells
![Page 38: CHAPTER 35 PLANT STRUCTURE AND GROWTH 1. Plants are the first link in the food chain through photosynthesis. This affects all animals. I. Concept 35.1:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cad5503460f9496f03c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

2. Zone of elongation•Cells elongate and push root through the soil
3. Zone of differentiation•Elongated cells complete their differentiation and
become functionally mature •Region where root hairs develop• Farthest from root tip
![Page 39: CHAPTER 35 PLANT STRUCTURE AND GROWTH 1. Plants are the first link in the food chain through photosynthesis. This affects all animals. I. Concept 35.1:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cad5503460f9496f03c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

The primary growth of roots produces the epidermis, ground tissue, and vascular tissue
In most roots, the stele is a vascular cylinder The ground tissue fills the cortex, the region between
the vascular cylinder and epidermis The innermost layer of the cortex is called the
endodermis Lateral roots arise from within the pericycle, the
outermost cell layer in the vascular cylinder

1. Tissue Organization of Stems Lateral shoots develop from axillary buds on the
stem’s surface In most eudicot stems, the vascular tissue consists
of vascular bundles that are arranged in a ring In most monocot stems, the vascular bundles are
scattered throughout the ground tissue, rather than forming a ring

2. Tissue Organization of LeavesThe epidermis in leaves is interrupted by stomata,
which allow CO2 exchange between the air and the photosynthetic cells in a leaf
Each stomatal pore is flanked by two guard cells, which regulate its opening and closing
The ground tissue in a leaf, called mesophyll, is sandwiched between the upper and lower epidermis
Below the palisade mesophyll in the upper part of the leaf is loosely arranged spongy mesophyll, where gas exchange occurs

The vascular tissue of each leaf is continuous with the vascular tissue of the stem
Veins are the leaf’s vascular bundles and function as the leaf’s skeleton
Each vein in a leaf is enclosed by a protective bundle sheath

IV. Concept 35.4: Secondary growth in woody plantsA. Secondary growth occurs in stems and roots of woody
plants but rarely in leavesB. The secondary plant body consists of the tissues
produced by the vascular cambium and cork cambiumC. Secondary growth is characteristic of gymnosperms
and many eudicots, but not monocots

D. The Cork Cambium and the Production of Periderm The cork cambium gives rise to the secondary plant
body’s protective covering, or periderm Periderm consists of the cork cambium plus the
layers of cork cells it produces Bark consists of all the tissues external to the
vascular cambium, including secondary phloem and periderm
