What are the basic needs of plants? 1. Energy: Plants capture energy from incoming solar
radiation and convert it to chemical energy through photosynthesis, a complex process that uses carbon dioxide and water to form glucose and oxygen. The word equation for photosynthesis is: solar energy
Carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen

Energy Plants produce glucose which is a carbohydrate. Chemical energy plants need for maintenance,
growth, and development. Photosynthesis needs: CO2 + H2O+light
Plants have many adaptations to gain light For example, some plants can adjust the position of their leaves to maximize their exposure to sunlight.

Basic Needs of Plants:2. Protection against herbivores: Plants get eaten.
Good for us/animals = bad for plants
Since plants cannot move theydeveloped other ways to protect themselves.
Ex: Many plants produce toxic or bad-tasting substances to keep herbivore away. Others produce a tough, hair, or prickly outer layer.

Basic Needs
3. Nutrients: Plants need nitrogen (N),
phosphorous (P), and potassium (K), in order to synthesis the proteins, lipids, and other compounds needed in their cells.
Plants absorb nutrients as dissolved substances in water.
![Page 8: Lesson 1: Characteristics and Needs of Plants](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568166db550346895ddafc7d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Nutrients
Most plants are helped in this process by mycorrhizal fungi associated in their roots.
This fungi has a mutualistic relationship with the plant, whereby the plant provides the fungi with carbohydrates and in return, the fungi provides the plant with the nutrients by its ability to absorb water and minerals.

Basic Needs
4. Water: Plants need water for photosynthesis
and many other processes, such as growth and repair of cells.
If a plant loses too much water it will wilt and may die; similarly, it may die if it is exposed to too much water.
![Page 11: Lesson 1: Characteristics and Needs of Plants](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568166db550346895ddafc7d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Basic Needs
5. Gas Exchange: Plants are living organisms and need
to exchange gases with the environment during processes such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
In vascular plants, most gas exchange happens in the leaves.

Basic Needs 6. Reproduction: Plants need to reproduce.
asexual and sexual reproduction – meaning that male and female gametes, usually from two individuals, have to meet and join.
Since individual plants cannot move, plants have evolved some amazing adaptations to ensure that their gametes unite and that the resulting zygote has an appropriate environment in which to germinate and grow.

Roots & Shoots Flowering plants are divided into two main'body systems' – roots & shoots
![Page 18: Lesson 1: Characteristics and Needs of Plants](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568166db550346895ddafc7d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Root System
The Root System: Includes all the root material Underground (usually) Anchor the plant in the soil Absorb water and nutrients Conduct water and nutrients Food storage
![Page 19: Lesson 1: Characteristics and Needs of Plants](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568166db550346895ddafc7d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Shoot System
The Shoot System: Includes the stems and leaves (and
reproductive parts) Above ground (usually) Elevates the plant above the soil Many functions including:
Photosynthesis Reproduction and dispersal Food and water conduction
![Page 20: Lesson 1: Characteristics and Needs of Plants](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568166db550346895ddafc7d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
3 Basic Tissue Types in Plants Vascular plants have three main non-
reproductive organs: the leaf, the stem and the root. These organs are primarily composed of three tissue types: dermal tissue vascular tissue ground tissue.

Dermal Tissue
STRUCTURE: Two tissue types: epidermis and
periderm Outermost cell layers Often have thicker cell walls Covered with a waxy cuticle
FUNCTION: Protect against injury, herbivores,
disease and water loss
![Page 23: Lesson 1: Characteristics and Needs of Plants](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568166db550346895ddafc7d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Vascular Tissue
Structure: Two tissue types: xylem and phloemXylem: thick-walled cells, dead at
maturityPhloem: thin-walled cells, living at
maturity
Function: Transport water and nutrients Support the plant body

Ground Tissue
Structure:Three tissue types:Parenchyma: thin-walled cells,
living at maturityCollenchymas: thick-walled cells,
living at maturitySclerenchyma: cells with lignin in
their cell walls, dead at maturity
![Page 27: Lesson 1: Characteristics and Needs of Plants](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568166db550346895ddafc7d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Ground Tissue
Perform cellular processes to support growth and development (parenchyma and collenchyma)
Store carbohydrate, especially starch (parenchyma)
Support and protect plant body (collenchyma and sclerenchyma)

Meristematic (Meristem) Tissue Area of actively dividing undifferentiated
cells.
Eventually develop into specialized cells and tissues.
Produce new cells through mitosis.
In plants, mature cells cannot divide. This means that the plant can only grow where there is meristematic tissue. (root tips, buds)

Monocots & Dicots
Angiosperms have traditionally been divided into monocots or dicots based on whether the seeds of angiosperms have one or two cotyledons.
Cotyledons are a structure in the seeds of flowering plants (angiosperm) that stores and supplies nutrients to the embryo.
