Stem:
- Supports the plant
- Transports substances through the plant
Leaf:
- Produces food by photosynthesis
Root:
- Anchors the plant
- Takes up water+ minerals from the soil
Flower:
- Reproduction
- Epidermal tissue- covers the outside of the plant+ protects the organs
- The bulk of the stem+ root is composed of packing cells filled with watery fluid- makes the cells firm-> help support the plant
- Xylem+ phloem- found in the tube-like vascular bundles that run up through roots, leaves+ stems- strong+ support the plant
- Palisade mesopyll cells- located on the upper surface of the leaf+ contain chloroplasts that absorb sunlight energy for photosynthesis
- Xylem- dead cells stacked upon one another to form long hollow tube-like vessels; transport water+ dissolved minerals from the roots to the shoots+ leaves
- Phloem- living cells stacked on top of one another in tubes- transport food substances made in the leaf to other parts of the plant
- Glucose…
