Chapter #20 Plant Support and Transport Chapter 20.1 • 2 stem types 1. Woody- a non green stem grows thick and hard bark. (Trees) 2. Herbaceous- are soft, green stems. Grow no taller than meters. Have few xylem cells. (Flowers and grass) Woody Stems • 5 Cell layers 1. Cork- outer layer made of dead cells and protects the stem from insects, disease and water loss. 2. Cortex- stores food. 3. Phloem cells- move food 4. Cambium- thin layer of cells that makes new phloem and xylem cells. 5. Layers 1-4 make up the Bark 6. Xylem- takes up water. Cork Cortex • Terminal bud- is the bud at the tip of a stem, responsible for the plants growth in length. • Lateral bud- gives rise to new branches, leaves or flowers. • Annual ring- cambium forms a ring of new xylem cells each year. Each ring is made up of a dark and light band. • Light rings form in Spring when there is plenty of rain and growth is rapid. • Dark rings form in Summer when there is less rain and growth is slower. They look dark because the xylem tubes are close together. Oldest wood found in center Chapter 20.2 • • • • • Roots take up water Water roots stem leaves stomata Leaves make food Food leaves stem roots Water storage in herbaceous stems is used to prevent wilting. Water acts like a skeleton. • • • 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. • Plants store sugar as starch. Plants use most of their stored food for new growth in the spring (leaves and flowers). Stem are used for: Wood Dollar bills Paper Food packets Food (Cauliflower and Broccoli) Sap liquid that flows up the xylem. Chapter 20.3 • Two types of Roots 1. Taproot- large, single root with smaller side roots. Stores food. Example: beets, carrots, turnips, dandelions. 2. Fibrous roots- are many branched roots that grow in clusters. No main, large root. Root layers 1. Root hairs- are threadlike cells of the epidermis that absorb water and minerals. 2. Epidermis- protects 3. Cortex- stores food 4. Endodermis- waxy cells that help reduce water loss. 5. Xylem- carry water 6. Phloem- carry food 7. Cambium- makes new xylem and phloem Root hairs Endodermis Xylem Cambium Phloem Cortex Epidermis • The first root of a new plant is its primary root other roots are called secondary roots. • Most roots keep growing as long as the plant lives. • New cells are added to the END of a root, that is why they grow DOWN. Chapter 20.4 • • • • 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Plants get needed materials (water and minerals) for growth through their roots. Plants would die without roots. Root hairs increase surface area. Roots are used for: Food Tea Perfumes Medicines Reduce erosion Roots can cause damage to underground pipes.
