Plant Body Systems
Two types of systems:Root SystemShoot System: stem, leaf, flower
Plant organs: root, stem, leaf, flower referred to as plant parts

Root System Function Anchorage
Keeps plant in the soil
Prevents soil erosion Holds stem in place
Absorption water dissolved minerals
Storage Starch Other nutrients

Taproot
Large long primary root Penetrate deep into the ground Small thin roots grow laterally off main
root Strong anchoring system Examples: evergreen trees
![Page 6: Plant Biology - Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/546817c8af7959f9288b6b57/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Taproot
Specialized to store water, food, nutrients
Better chance at drought survival
Examples: carrot, beet, turnip, radish

Fibrous Root
Many small roots that branch
Increases surface areaBetter absorption of water
and mineralsLess structural supportExamples: peas, beans,
lettuce

Root Hairs Small fibrous
objects that branch off roots
Absorbs water and minerals
![Page 9: Plant Biology - Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/546817c8af7959f9288b6b57/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Root ZonesZone of maturation:
cells differentiate into different types of cells
Zone of elongation: allows the root to get deeper within the soil
Meristematic region: rapid mitosis of undifferentiated meristematic cells
Root cap: protects the meristematic region

Shoot System
Stem – structure and transportLeaf – photosynthesis Flower – reproduction
![Page 11: Plant Biology - Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/546817c8af7959f9288b6b57/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Stem
Raises and supports branches, leaves and flowers
Transport of water and nutrients
In trees the main stem is the tree trunk

Stem
Young green stems can perform photosynthesis because they have chloroplast in their epidermal cells

4 Types of Modified Stem
StolonRhizome

Modified Stem: Stolon Grow on surface of ground
horizontally Enable plant to colonize
large areas asexually from a single parent
Example: Strawberry runners

Modified Stem: Rhizome
Horizontal growth underground (an underground stolon)
Example: Edible base of ginger planthttp://nogmoseedbank.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/zingiberofficinale-thum.gif
![Page 17: Plant Biology - Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/546817c8af7959f9288b6b57/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Modified Stem: Tuber Swollen ends of
rhizomes specialized for food storage
Example: potato, yam, taro, cassava, sweet potato
http://database.prota.org/dbtw-wpd/protabase/Photfile%20Images/Adenia%20digitata%20tuber%20B.%20Wursten.jpg
Adenia digitata is poisonous. The Tswana people of Botswana have used the fruit for homicide. Accidental poisoning mainly occurs when the root of Adenia digitata is mistaken for edible tubers. To treat skin ailment, leprosy or ulcers, the Nyanja people of Malawi and Zambia rub the skin with boiled roots or a root decoction.

Guard Cells & Stoma Stoma (Greek for
“mouth”) Pore-like openings in the
plant’s epidermis Opening size controlled
by two guard cells permits gas exchange
between the leaf’s interior and external environment.
larger opening, faster gas exchange

Palisade Cells Contains many
chloroplast for photosynthesis
Cells stand tall and upright Top end
exposed to light Bottom end
exposed to the gases in the spongy layer

Chloroplast Structure Thylakoids are flat
disc-like structures where chlorophyll is embedded
Grana are thylakoids arranged in a stack
Chlorophyll is a pigment that captures light energy

Site for starch (a type of sugar) storage
Site for photosynthesisReaction involves
trapping light energy to create food in the form of sugars
Starting substances are carbon dioxide and water
CO2 + H2O + energy O2 + glucose

Pollination Act of sexual reproduction in plants Pollen reach stigma, travel down the
style into the ovary to fertilize the ovule
![Page 35: Plant Biology - Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/546817c8af7959f9288b6b57/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Pollen grains blown by wind
Plants are often small and drab but produce a large amount of pollen
Example: grass
Methods of Pollination: Wind

Methods of Pollination: Wind
All conifers are non-flowering
Produce male and female pine cones
Use wind to pollinate

Insects, birds, bats
Insects pollinate about 70% of all flowering plants
Crops pollinated by bees provide 30% of human food
