Adaptations
Stores water to survive
Spines help them keep internal heat down
and also protects them from being eaten
Has a waxy coating that helps reduce
evaporation.
Have long roots that spread laterally to
get water
Desert-Cactus
Adaptations  Has leaves to not get to much water
 Lives of off decay matter of the rainforest
 Grows 30cm-30m

Rainforest-Bamboo
Adaptations
 Has tough roots that help it get water
 Has scaly bark that protects them from
the elements
 Has salicylic acid

Tundra-Willow tree
Function
 Plant organs that anchors a plant
 Absorbs water
 Transports dissolved materials and
vascular tissue to and from the stem

Roots
Function
 Above average parts of plants that
support the leaves and flowers
 Transport dissolved materials and vascular
tissue

Stem
Function
 the primary function of leaves is
photosynthesis

Leaves
Characteristics
 have one seed leaf

Monocot
Characteristics
 Have two seed leaves

Dicot
 Transport
water and dissolved minerals
from the roots to the rest of the plants
Xylem
Tubular cells at each end
 Water and dissolved minerals flow through
its cell wall

Tracheids

Transport water throughout the plant
Vessel elements

Made of tubular cells joined end to end
Phloem
Are alive at maturity
 Have no nucleus or ribosomes
 Have cytoplasm

Sieve tube members

Nucleated cells that help with the
transport of sugars and other organic
compounds through the sieve tubes of the
phloem
Companion cells
