$lants are autotrophic organisms capable of synthesizing their own food for growth andmaintenance through the process of photosynthesis. )heir cells are eukaryotic (i.e. with a distinct

nucleus and other membrane?bound organelles! like fungal and animal cells4 but are distinguishedby the presence of cellulosic cell walls4 plastids and large vacuoles. $lant cells may also containnon?living inclusions called ergastic substances that are products of the cellBs metabolism4 likcrystals and starch.

Major plant cell types

)hree ma or plant cell types4 parenchyma4 collenchyma and sclerenchyma4 make up thedifferent tissues of the plant. Although they assume various shapes4 they are most easilydistinguished by general features and location in plant body.

o $arenchyma cells are usually large4 thin?walled and are extremely variable in shape.o -ollenchyma cells have primary cell walls that are thickened irregularly by cellulose and

pectin materials.o 2clerenchyma cells have a comparatively thick primary cell wall bearing heavy depositionsof lignified secondary substance laid down in a laminated pattern.

)issues are aggregate of cells with similar structure and function. 2ome of the cells in thetissue may even undergo further cell modification and change in function. )hus it is difficult toclassify plant tissues on the basis of a single criterion like function4 origin or structure.

o 3eristematic tissues are composed of immature cells and regions of active cell division.)hey provide for growth and are found in the root tip.

o $ermanent tissuesa. /pidermis composed of tiny openings principally on the underside of the leaves that

regulate the exchange of water and gases called stomates.b. $eriderm constitute the corky outer bark of trees.c. Eascular tissues composed of xylem and phloemF xylem functions for the transport of

water and minerals upward from the roots while phloem functions for the transport of food materials.

Different Plant Parts

3ootIt is typically underground organ of the plant axis that functions principally for anchorage

and absorption of water and minerals from the soil. )he first formed root is the primary root. Itdevelops from the radicle of the seed embryo. 2ome root arises from other plant organs like stemsand leaves hence are described as adventitious. )here are two general types of root system4 thefibrous which is found in monocotyledons4 and the taproot4 characteristic of dicotyledons.

Stem)he stem is readily recognized by the presence of nodes. 7eaves are born on these nodes.

)he intervening area between the two nodes is an internode.

Leaf It is a flattened4 green4 lateral appendage that carries out the functions of photosynthesis

and transpiration. -hlorophyll gives the leaf its green color.

product of the entire pistil and other floral parts that may be associated with it. )wo processesprecede fruit developmentF pollination or the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma andfertilization or the fusion of a sperm nucleus and an egg cell.

Photosynthesis and Transpiration

$hotosynthesis and transpiration are physiological processes occurring in leaves.$hotosynthesis involves the trapping of the radiant energy and its conversion into chemical energy.It takes place in the chloroplast of the leaves. )ranspiration is the loss of water in vapor formthrough the stomates4 minute openings distributed on the surface of leaves. A stoma has a pair of epidermal cells called guard cells. Cater moving into the guard cells cause latter to be turgidthereby opening the stomal pore. Chen the water moves out of the guard cells4 these becomeflaccid and the stomal pore closes.

)he numerous stomates of a leaf serve as entry point for a carbon dioxide (photosynthesis!and the exit for water vapor (transpiration!. If transpiration proceeds at a rate much faster that thatof the roots could absorb water from the soil4 the plant tissues suffer from water deficit4 causesplant to wilt.

Homenclature is the orderly assignment of names to taxa or categories in accordance withthe rules of International code of botanical nomenclature.

Law of 7o dominance states that two e0ually dominant alleles are e0ually expressed in thephenotype and that no blending is achieved.

Law of Bncom)lete Dominance states that among multi?allelic traits4 two dominant alleles thatare not dominant enough to mask the expression of one another4 are incompletely expressed in thephenotype4 hence a blended trait is achieved.

Mendel s law may be separated into two rules6 first4 the law of Independent 2egregation of Allelesand second4 the 7aw of Independent Assortment.

' Law of Bnde)endent Se"re"ation states that the alleles in a gene pair separate cleanly fromeach other during meiosis.' Law of Bnde)endent +ssortment states that the alleles of the different genes separate cleanlyfrom each other and randomly combining during meiosis.

A chromosome is made up of one very long ,HA packaged with histones to fit inside a

minute nucleus of the cell. /ukaryotic cells with several chromosomes would4 therefore4 containmore than one molecule of ,HA. $rokaryotic cells and viruses generally possess one longmolecule of ,HA either naked or associated with proteins but not as organized as compared toeukaryotic chromosomes. )he ,HA has been tagged as the genetic material of all organisms withthe exception of some viruses withribonucleic acid or 3N+ as their genetic material.

Central Dogma of Molecular )iology

,HA as the genetic material is capable of transmitting biological information from a parentcell to its daughter cells and4 in a broader perspective4 from one generation to another. )heinformation stored in its base se0uence is copied accurately byre)lication . 8eplication is aprocess of faithfully copying a ,HA to produce two ,HA molecules identical to the parent ,HA.

)hese ,HA molecules are then passed on to the daughter cells via the chromosomes during celldivision.

)he information stored in the ,HA when expressed will result to a particular trait of anindividual. )he trait is expressed through the action of proteins either directly or indirectly.

)he central dogma of molecular biology consists of three general processes namely6re)lication (,HA synthesis!4transcri)tion (8HA synthesis! andtranslation (protein synthesis!.)he transfer of information from cell to cell or from generation to generation is achieved byreplication. =n the other hand4 the transfers of information from the ,HA to the proteins involve twoprocesses6 transcription and translation. #enerally4 all organisms follow this mode of transferexcept for some viruses that undergore;erse transcri)tion .

At the end of gastrulation4 the embryo has three primary germ layers6 an outer ectoderm4an inner endoderm and middle mesoderm. At this stage tissues have become committed to form

one type of organ? a brain or stomach.)he ectoderm gives rise to the epidermis of the skin4 sense organs and the nervous

'! 'cosystem and 'colo"y

)he branch of biology that pertains specifically to the relationship of an organism with thatof its environment is known asecology. /cology is a body of knowledge that covers the economy of nature. It involves the study of overall relationship of an organism to its inorganic organienvironment4 that is4 the physical worldF and its relation and interaction with other organisms4 bplants and animals alike.

)he basic functional unit and the most important concept in ecology is the ecosystem4 as itincludes both plants and animals and the physical environment4 each of which influencing theother. /cosystem or ecological system may refer to biotic assemblage of plants4 animals4 microbesinteracting among them and with that of the physico?chemical environment.

Components of the Ecosystem and "rophic %evels

)he ecosystem has two basic components the biotic (living! and abiotic (non?living!components. )he biotic component is further subdivided into two units4 namely4 the autotrophs (selnourishing self feeding! and the heterotrophs (other feeding!.

)he autotro)hs are usually chlorophyll?bearing organisms4 that are able to harness solar energy. In the presence of water and carbon dioxide4 they convert this energy into (chemically?stored energy! known as adenosine triphosphate or A)$. )hey assume the role as producers in anecosystem. $lants are the typical producers. 9owever4 in a0uatic systems4 algal communities or phytoplanktons may be the producers.

.eterotro)hs 4 on the other hand4 are those that depend on the producers as food. )heyare generally classified as consumers4 although those that secure food directly from the producersare better known as herbivores or primary consumers. A secondary consumer or carnivore4 on theother hand4 derives its nourishment indirectly from the producers by devouring the herbivore. Insome ecosystems4 tertiary consumers exist. =ther heterotrophs include also the decomposers
