1)
2)
Main Body Systems
1. ___________________________ – system in flowering plant that is specialized to
conduct __________________________ and __________________________________
– consists of _____________________________________
2. ____________________________– system in a flowering plant, fern, or conifer that
______________________ the plant, __________________ water and minerals, and
___________________ food

_______________________ Tissue System – All plant tissues responsible for conducting
materials within a plant
_______________________Tissue System – All plant tissues other than those that make
up the dermal and vascular tissue systems
The Shoot System
1. LEAF
– is the main photosynthetic structure of plant
– organelle called ___________________ performs photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is:
_____________________ contain flat, disc-like structures called ___________________
_________________________ are arranged in stacks called _______________________
____________________act as solar collectors, using ______________________ in the
membranes of thylakoids
Some leaves also act as support, protection, reproduction, and attraction (We also eat
them!)
2. FLOWER
– specialized structures developed for sexual reproduction
– _____________ (produce pollen grains)
– _____________reproductive (produce eggs) structures, or
sometimes both
– ________________________ is the act of the eggs being fertilized by pollen
–
after POLLINATION, female flower parts form ________________
that in most flowering plants are contained in specialized structures
called FRUIT
–
POLLINATION occurs due to the help of wind or animals like birds,
bats, insects
3. STEM
– _____________________ branches, leaves, and flowers and provides way a way to
________________ materials
– _________________________________ is contained for carrying substances to and
from roots, leaves, flowers, and fruits
– some are specialized for food storage, protection, photosynthesis, and reproduction
