1 Plant Structure and Function Professor Andrea Garrison Biology 3A Illustrations 2014 Cengage Learning unless otherwise noted

2 Plant Structure and Function Previously discussed adaptations for living on land Will elaborate on some of those adaptations here, as well as discuss additional aspects of plant structure Plant Structure and Function 2

3 Plant Structure and Function Already discussed Shoot system Leaves, stems, reproductive structures Root system Anchorage, absorption Root hairs Also see the vascular tissue extending throughout plant Plant Structure and Function 3

4 Plant Structure and Function Three tissue systems Ground tissue system Most of plant body Functions in metabolism, storage, support Vascular tissue system Transport Extends throughout roots, stems, leaves Dermal tissue system Plant Structure and Function 4

5 Three Tissue Systems in Leaf Plant Structure and Function 5

6 Ground Tissues A. Location of tissues in stem Dermal tissue (epidermis) Vascular tissues Xylem Phloem Parenchyma Collenchyma Sclerenchyma Ground tissues Plant Structure and Function 6

7 Vascular Tissues Vascular system Provides transport Water & P/S products carried throughout plant Provides support Walls strengthened with lignin Holds branches w/leaves up for sunlight Two types vascular tissue Xylem and phloem Also contain parenchyma cells and fibers Plant Structure and Function 7

8 Vascular Tissues Xylem Carries water and minerals from roots to leaves Dead cells Perforated wall End-to-end Act like straws Hollow with pores or pits to allow water movement Form woody parts of plant A. Tracheids, tangential section Pits in tracheid B. Part of a vessel Pits Vessel members Plant Structure and Function 8

9 Phloem Carries P/S products from leaves to rest of plant Also carries hormones Living cells Sieve tube members Plasmodesmata (=gap junctions) Vascular Tissues Plant Structure and Function 9

10 Phloem Over time nucleus and other organelles break down cytoplasm reduced to thin layer lining inside of cell wall Sieve-tube members still live several years In many angiosperms, parenchyma cells connected to mature sieve-tube members assist with uptake and unloading of sugars in tissues that are growing or storing food Vascular Tissues Plant Structure and Function 10

13 Dermal Tissues Protect surface of plants Trichomes are outgrowths of epidermis Root hairs Stinging nettles: inject toxin into predators Hairy stems or leaves Plant Structure and Function 13

14 Vascular Tissue Function Xylem carries water and minerals up from roots to rest of plant Phloem carries P/S products from leaves to rest of plant Plant Structure and Function 14

15 Vascular Tissue Function Xylem in center of trunk Phloem around outer edges of trunk Plant Structure and Function 15
