Plant Tissue Systems 3. There are three main types of plant tissues: dermal vascular ground. The tissues help the plant grow 1. 2. DERMAL The dermal system has the epidermis which is the outermost layer of the plant body. It makes the skin of the plant. Epidermal cells vary in function and structure. The epidermis has openings through which gasses are switched with the atmosphere. The openings are enclosed by guard cells which change the size of the stomata openings and control the gas exchange. The epidermis is covered with a coating called the cuticle, which serves as a waterproof layer and reduces water lost through evaporation. What are examples of plants with a thick cuticle? Vascular System This system is made up of two types of conducting tissues. They are the xylem, which conducts the water, and dissolved mineral nutrients; and the phloem, which conducts food. Ground System The primary meristem in vascular plants that gives rise to the nonvascular tissues, such as cortex and pith. It is the primary site of metabolic functions such as photosynthesis, respiration, and protein synthesis. In Summary PLANT ORGANS Plants generally have four organs: Roots Stems Leaves Flowers ROOTS Roots hold the plant in place and they absorb water and minerals. Roots usually grow in the direction of gravity (down) which is why they are most often found underground. They have no leaves. In short, the roots are in the ground and they give the plant water to help make its food. All roots have a tip. The growing tip of roots is protected by a root cap consisting of concentric layers of cells surrounding the apical meristem where new root cells are produced.

Procambium: gives rise to vascular tissue 5. 6. 7. 8. ground meristem: widens root Protoderm: Develops into dermis (epidermis) apical meristem: lengthens root root cap: Protects the root and meristem. Roots Three main types of roots: 1. Taproot: the first root to develop from a germinating seed, also called primary root, which digs deep into the soil searching for water. Taproots can also act as storage roots, storing water and minerals for the plant to survive off of. Fibrous Root Slender, branched roots that look like fine string of yarn. Adventitious roots Roots that grow from the stems or leaves of a plant Contractile roots Roots that can change in length and thickness, pulling shoots closer to the ground or deeper into the soil. The roots grow downward, then contract, pulling the plant's crown (a thick underground stem called a "rhizome") deeper into the mud. Each year, the plant digs itself deeper into the earth and extends its anchor-roots farther down. Root Hairs Can be found on any root system. They are tiny projections from the surface cells of a root that extend through the soil around the root. Root Hairs Minerals and water molecules enter root hairs and travel through the cells of the cortex by osmosis. STEM Stems are generally above ground, grow upward, and have leaves. Can stems be different from one another? Stems of cactus: Give two more examples of stems Phloem Some plants have bark which contains phloem. It is a tissue that conducts synthesized food (glucose) substances (e.g., from leaves) to parts where needed by transporting the food made in the leaves, down the stems and into the roots. Phloem-FLOWS down the plant and UP!!! Xylem acts as a protective layer on the outside of the plant which helps prevent damage and water loss. It absorbs water and minerals through the roots and transports them up the stem and into the leaves. Xylem transports UP the plant. Phloem does what? Xylem does what? Phloem brings food down the plant. Xylem brings water and minerals up the plant. Xylem and phloem can be referred to what organ structures within the human body? Why would they call the xylem and phloem vascular tissue? The table below will help you remember the differences between the two types of vessel: Xylem made of dead cells cell wall thickness thick cell wall material lignin permeability of cell wall impermeable cytoplasm? none function transport of water and minerals carried to ... leaves direction of flow upward tissue also has.. fibres Phloem living cells thin cellulose permeable cells lined with cytoplasm strands transport of food growing parts and storage organs up and down companion cells Vascular Cambium one-cell-thick layer of tissue between xylem and phloem in most vascular plants (plants that contain vessels for transporting) that is responsible for secondary growth. Produces additional vascular tissues! Vascular vs. Non-Vascular Vascular: tube-like (water, food, etc.) Ex. Pine, maple, ferns, grass, ivy sunflowers Non-vascular: No tubes (osmosis, diffusion) Ex. Mosses 575 Liverworts 577 Cork Cambium Located outside the phloem, produces CORK. Cork cells replace the epidermis in woody stems and roots, protecting the plant. Cork cells are DEAD CELLS that provide protection and prevent water loss. How Old is that tree? Each year a tree adds a layer of wood to its trunk and branches thus creating the annual rings we see when viewing a section. New wood grows from the cambium layer between the old wood and the bark. In the spring, when moisture is plentiful, the tree devotes its energy to producing new growth cells. These first new cells are large, but as the summer progresses their size decreases until, in the fall, growth stops and cells die, with no new growth appearing until the next spring. The contrast between these smaller old cells and next year’s larger new cells is enough to establish a ring, thus making counting possible. Wide rings of certain species of trees were produced during wet years and inversely, narrow rings during dry seasons. Between you and your lab partner grab a piece of wood and determine the following pieces of data: 1. How old is your tree? 2. How many dry seasons were there? 3. How many wet seasons were there? The massive trunk of this Chilean wine palm has grown in girth due to the production of new vascular bundles from the primary and secondary thickening meristems. LEAFS The leaf contains veins and stomatas • Veins: carry nutrients and water through the leaf • Stomatas: are pores in the epidermis of a leaf or stem through which gases and water vapor pass. • Draw a picture of a stomata including their guard cells. Page. 639 Investigation of the Leaf Stomata 1. 2. 3. In partners you will be investigating leaf stomata's on plants. They are located on the tops and bottoms of leaves. Each group will need to make an impression on both the top and bottom layers of the leaf. DO NOT TEAR THE LEAF OFF THE PLANT! Be careful! 4. 5. Do not begin the lab until you have read through the lab completely. Then you may begin. Make sure you obtain the proper materials and return them once you have used them. Will plants have more stoma open during the day than during the night? Make a hypothesis about the number of open stomata found in a plant kept in the dark compared to a plant in the light. 1st hour-in Light Stomatas found on the top 7, 5, 100ish, 31, 16, 11, 0, 10, 21, 1, 11, Stomatas found on the bottom 7, 100ish, 36, 5, 10 5th hour-in dark Stomatas found on the top 0, 0, 30, 6, 8, 4, 80, 6 Stomatas found on the bottom 79, 30, 8, 9, 45ish, 25, 4, 0 It is through the stomata's that gas exchange takes place: photosynthesis and respiration Label and COLOR the Leaf Diagram Flowers Are responsible for one important function reproduction. Flowers are the plant’s reproductive structures. Angiosperms are types of plants that bear fruits and flowers. Flowers are usually both male and female, and are brightly colored to attract insects to help them carry pollen used for sexual reproduction. Not all flowers are colorful, though. These flowers usually use the wind for pollination. Complete Flower In order to be a complete flower you must have all four of the following organs: sepal, petal, stamen, and pistil. An incomplete flower is missing one or more of the flower organs. Box Elder Flower! Decide what flowers are from the following choices: perfect regular irregular incomplete complete Flower Anatomy The peduncle is the tip of the stalk where the flower begins. The receptacle starts at the peduncle and acts as a base to which all other parts of the flower are attached. Sepals are leaf-like protective coverings of the bud that grow typically in an outer whorl. Petals are the inner whorl of leaves Pistils are the female organs. There can be one or more. There are 3 parts of the pistil: the stigma receives the pollen and is sticky the style connects the stigma to the ovary the ovary is where seeds develop Stamen are the male organs. The number of stamen per flower varies. There are 2 parts of the stamen: the anther holds pollen the filament is the tube which holds the anther. (Makes Pollen) FLOWER DISSECTION LAB!! Monocots vs. Dicots MONOCOTS & DICOTS (pg. 8) Traditionally, the vast world of flowering plants, phylum Anthophyta, has been known as the angiosperms. It has been divided into two great subdivisions, or classes, known as the monocots and the dicots.
