Plant Systems

Food, provide oxygen, foundation of the food chain, important in the water cycle, provide habitatis, medicine, enjoyment and beauty

System in flowering plants that is specialized to conduct food and water processes, photosynthesize, reproduce sexually

The main photosynthetic structure in plants

An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs; contain thykaloids

Arranged in stacks called grana; grana act as solar collectors using chlorophyll

Light energy + CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 (glucose) + O2

Specialized reproductive shoot of a flowering plant

Supports branches, leaves, and flowers; provides a way to transport materials

Anchors the plant; absorbs water through root hairs; conducts water and nutrient processes; stores food and nutrients

Tissue of the plant that makes up the waxy outer layer of the plant

A thin layer of cells that cover the surface of leaves, stems, and roots

The tissue replacing epidermal tissue; creates bark on plants

Specialized tissue in plants that carries water and nutrients

Non-living tissue that transports water from the roots to the leaves

Living vascular tissue that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant

Vascular bundles arranged randomly throughout the stem

Vascular bundles arranged in a ring

Tissue found between the vascular and dermal tissue

A type of stem cell that can differentiate into any type of plant cell

Found in the tips of roots and shoots

Responsible for increasing the thichness of the stem

A pair of epidermal cells that control gas diffusion by controlling the opening and closing of stomata pores

Closely packed photosynthetic cells within leaves

The process in which plants produce genetically identical offspring from it's roots or shoots

Sexual reproduction in which pollen grains meet an egg to create a fertalized seed

Brightly colored and attract pollinators

Leaflike parts that cover and protect the flower bud

The pollen-producing male reproductive organ of a flower

Produce pollen

The female reproductive part of a flower

Sticky part of the flower to collect pollen

Breeding organisms with specific traits in order to produce offspring with identical traits

An animal, plant, or microbe whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Example: golden rice
