Lecture #2 Plant Anatomy and Transport
I. Plant Cells and Tissues
II. Three kinds of Tissues
- Epidermis
- Outer covering
- Gas exchange
- Vascular-Transport of water and dissolved substances (sugar)
- Xylem- Up from the roots
- Phloem- Down from the leaves
- Ground- the rest of the plant
- Leaf- mesophyll and vascular
- Stem- Pith, cortex and vascular
- Root- cortex and vascular
- Main purpose is to get and keep water
III. Plant organs- groups of tissues
- Roots
- Anchorage, Absorption, Storage, Conduction
- Structure
- Stems
- Support
- Structure
- Leaves
- Photosynthesis
- Structure
IV. Transport
- Water and minerals
- Transpiration, Adhesion, Cohesion
- Sugar
