A. Functions of Roots
Anchor & support
plant in the ground
Absorb water &
minerals
Hold soil in place
Root Hairs
Fibrous Roots
Slide 3
B. Root Types
Tap Root
1. Fibrous Roots:
Ex. Grasses
Slide 4
Meristem
Root
Cap
1. Root Hairs:
increase surface
area for water &
mineral
absorption
2. Meristem:
region where
new cells are
produced
3. Root Cap:
protects tip of
growing root

A. Functions of Leaves
Slide # 7
B. Leaf Structures
Leaf Cross-Section
Cuticle
Mesophyll
3.Mesophyll: contains
cells that perform
photosynthesis
b/c they contain
Chloroplasts.
Veins
Stoma
(Opening)

Surround
each
Stoma
Stoma- singular
Stomata-plural
Slide # 8
GAS EXCHANGE:
Allows CO2 in & O2
out of leaf
TRANSPIRATION:
Allows excess H2O
out of leaf
Guard Cells
Stoma
Slide # 9
Function of Stomata
Guard Cells
What
goes O2
out?
What
goes
in?
Stoma
Photosynthesis
CO2 What is the plant using this
process to make?
Stoma Open
Stoma Closed
Carbohydrates-glucose
If the plant needs water for
photosynthesis, why is water
coming out of the stoma?
Slide # 10
These stomata
(leaf
Guard Cells
openings) naturally allow
water to evaporate out.
Guard Cells
Stoma Closed
Slide # 11
1. Transpiration: loss
of excess water from
plant leaves
2. Significance:
a. Transpiration causes enough
pressure to help pull water
(& required nutrients) up
stem from roots.
b. As part of the water cycle,
trees transpire water back into
the atmosphere.
c. Transpiration provides much
of the daily rain in rainforest.

Structure of a Flower
1.Pistil:female reproductive
structure
a.Stigma: sticky tip; traps
pollen
b.Style: slender tube;
transports pollen from stigma
to ovary
c.Ovary: contains ovules;
ovary develops into fruit
d.Ovule: contains egg cell
which develops into a seed
when fertilized

Structure of a Flower
2.Stamen: male
reproductive structure
a.Filament: thin stalk;
supports anther
b.Anther: knob-like
structure; produces
pollen
c.Pollen: contains
microscopic cells that
become sperm cells
