Lecture 5: Chapter 25
Structure and Organization of Flowering Plants
Outline
• Plant Organs– Roots – Stems– Leaves
• Monocots vs. Eudicots
• Epidermal Tissue• Vascular Tissue
• Roots– Organization– Diversity
• Stems– Organization– Diversity
• Leaves– Organization– Diversity
Plant Organs
• Roots function– Anchors plant in soil.– Absorbs water and minerals.– Produces hormones that stimulate growth
and coordinate the plant size with their root size
• The root system contains primary root, lateral root and root hair.
Organization of Plant Body
Stems
• Shoot system of a plant is the aboveground portion of the plant.
• The shoot system of the plant is composed of the stem, the branches and the leaves.– Stem support leaves in such a way that
each leaf is exposed to as much sunlight as possible.
– In addition to supporting the leaves, a stem has vascular tissue (Xylem and Phloem)
Organization of Plant Body
Leaves
• Leaves are the major part of the plant that carries on photosynthesis.
• The process of Photosynthesis require:– Water– Carbon dioxide– Sunlight
Plant Tissues
• Epidermal Tissues– Is the outer protective covering of the
plant
Ground Tissue
• Ground tissue makes up the majority of the interior of the plant
Vascular Tissue
• xylem and phloem
Xylem Structure
Root Diversity
Stem Diversity
Leaf
• The epidermis is covered by a waxy layer of cuticle that reduces water loss.
• Gas exchange occurs through tiny openings in the leaf surface called stomates.
• Regulation of gas exchange through the leaf is the responsibility of the guard cells.
