Plants are divided into two portions
Over ground shoot system
Under ground root system
![Page 5: Structure of Flowering Plants](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042603/56815ff3550346895dcef215/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Meristem
Apical meristems are found at the tip of the shoot and tip of the root and give an increase in length
An area of active cell division
Lateral meristems are found around the edges of some plants and give an ìncrease in width

Leaf parts
• Some leaves do not have a petiole (They are called sessile leaves)
• Veins contain the vascular tissue
![Page 25: Structure of Flowering Plants](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042603/56815ff3550346895dcef215/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

2. Transpiration
3. Gas exchange
4. Sometimes store food

Xylem Structure….Two types of Cell
Xylem Tracheids Xylem Vessels
On maturity both are dead, hollow and contain no cytoplasm
Found in conifers Found in deciduous trees
![Page 30: Structure of Flowering Plants](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042603/56815ff3550346895dcef215/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Xylem Tracheid Structure
Long cells tapered at both ends
Pits in the walls – allow water and minerals to move sideways from cell to cell
Walls thickened with lignin for support
![Page 31: Structure of Flowering Plants](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042603/56815ff3550346895dcef215/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Xylem Vessels Structure
Elongated cells
Spiral lignin for strength
No end walls – form a continuous tube
Pits to allow sideways movement of water
![Page 32: Structure of Flowering Plants](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042603/56815ff3550346895dcef215/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Nucleus controls activities ofboth companion and sieve tube cell
Phloem Structure
Sieve plates
Mature cells have no nucleus
Cytoplasm extendsfrom cell to cell through thesieve plate
2 Companion Cells
1. Sieve tube cells

Differences between Monocots & Dicots
Monocotyledons DicotyledonsNumber of cotyledons
One Two
Arrangement of vascular
bundles in the stem
Scattered in the stem
In a ring pattern
Leaf venation Parallel Netted
Number of flower parts
In threes In fours and fives
Woody or herbaceous
Almost all are herbaceous
May be woody or herbaceous
