Organism Systems Organs Tissues Cells
Two systems in plants
Root system
Shoot system
4 plant organs
Root
Stem
Leaf
Flower
3 types of tissues in plants
Structural
Vascular
Meristematic
4 types of structural tissue
Epidermal
Cork
Parenchyma
Support and strengthening
Protects and covers (younger plant)
Epidermal tissue
Covered by cuticle
Epidermal tissue
Protects and waterproofs (older plant)
Cork
Makes and stores food
Parenchyma
Sap conducting tissues
Vascular
Growth and repair
Meristematic
Upward movement of sap (into leaf)
Xylem
Downward movement of sap (out of leaf)
Phloem
Longitudinal plant growth
Apical meristem
New xylem and phloem
Vascular cambium
New cork tissue
Cork cambium
Cell
Basic structural unit of all living things
Parts found in any cell
Cell membrane
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Plant cell parts
Cell wall
Chloroplasts
Vacuole
Separates cell from environment
Cell membrane
Control center of cell
Nucleus
Fluid medium
Cytoplasm
“Little organs”
Organelles
Cellulose
Cell wall
Chlorophyll
Chloroplasts
Storage in cell
Vacuole
Basic leaf shapes
Broad and flat
Long and narrow
Needlelike or scalelike
Leaf parts
Blade
Petiole
Margin types
Smooth
Toothed
Lobed
Connects blade to stem
Petiole
No petiole =
Sessile
Simple=
1 blade per petiole
Compound =
More than one blade per petiole
Area at which the leaves grow from the stem
Node
Space between the nodes
Internode
Opposite
2 leaves growing from same node
Alternate
1 leaf per node
