Plant Structure & FunctionCh. 29.2, 29.3, 29.4, 30.2
Plant Vocab
Non-Vascular: lacking xylem and phloem Vascular: have xylem and phloem
Gymnosperm: pine treesAngiosperm: flowering plants
Comparing Monocots & Dicots (Angiosperms)
Root Functions (29.2)
Major Functions: anchor plant to soil, absorb and transport water and nutrients, and store water and organic compounds.
Growth:1. Primary- lengthening and elongation of theroot.2. Secondary- widening of the root andexpansion of root structures.
Types of Roots1. Tap root: if the primary root becomes the longest root.
2. Fibrous roots: Numerous small roots develop and branch out.
3. Adventitious roots: specialized roots that grow from uncommon places of the plant.
Root hairs: increase surface area to increase its ability to absorb water & minerals from soil
Root Structures
Monocot Dicot
Stem Functions (29.3)Function: -transportation of water & nutrients
-storage of nutrients-support of leaves
Translocation refers to the movement of sugars through the plant in the phloem.
Pressure Flow Hypothesis explains how sugar flows in the phloem with the help of osmosis.
Transport of water and mineral nutrients occurs through the xylem.
Transpiration is the process in which plants lose water when obtaining carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
The cohesion-tension theory explains on water flows against gravity from the roots up through the stem to the leaves.
Types of Stems
1. Stolons
2. Tubers
3. Fleshy

Flower Functions (30.2)
Function: attract animals for the spread of pollen which leads to reproduction.
Flower Petal Patterns
Monocot Dicot
Flower Structures:
Lily flower (monocot):
A-anther B-filament A+B = stamen (male)
C-stigma D-style E-ovary C+D+E = pistil (female)
