What are the functions of the leaves?

1- leaves

2- stem or branch

3- roots​

3 main parts of a land plant:

​

three major functions:

1- They absorb water & nutrients from the soil.

2- They anchor the plant to the ground.​

3- They store food & nutrients.​

Roots

The stem is where leaves, flowers, cones and buds grow.

The stem provides support and stores food for the plant. ​

Stem​

​

two functions:

1- to capture light energy

2- gas exchange​

Leaves

Multiple Choice

Where are stomata located on the leaves?

• on the underside of the leaf.

• on the top side of the leaf.

• in the middle of the leaf (between the upper and lower sides)

Open Ended

What is the main function of a stoma?

Open Ended

What are the main functions of the chloroplasts?

Specialized structures located on the underside of the leaves.

Each stoma is a small opening through which oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide can move.​

Stomata

Specialized cell structures where food is made.

Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll that absorbs sunlight and give the plants their green color. ​
