Plant Systems 1

The part of the plant

that is generally

under the ground

and in the soil

• Reproductive System

• Transpiration

• Shoot System

• Root System

The part of the plant

that is generally above the ground including stems, leaves, buds and reproductive structures

• Stem System

• Leaf system

• Shoot system

• Xylem

The outer layer of plants which protects the plants and regulates water levels inside the plant.

• Shoot System

• Root System

• Dermal System

• Reproductive System

Vascular tissue (tubes) responsible for the transportation of water and minerals up from the roots and around the plant.

• Stomata

• Transpiration

• Phloem

• Xylem

Vascular tissue (tubes) responsible for the transportation of glucose down and around in a plant.

• Transpiration

• Xylem

• Phloem

• Root Hairs

The process of water movement in plants

due to evaporation out the stomata

and absorption of water through the root hairs

• Active Transport

• Transpiration

• Stomata

• Guard Cells

Pores under leaves

that allow for transpiration

and gas exchange

• Xylem

• Stomata

• Phloem

• Transpiration

Two cells that regulate the size of the stomata depending on temperature and

water conditions

• Phloem

• Xylem

• Stomata

• Guard Cells

The plant hormone response to the

force of gravity

• Phototropism

• Geotropism

• Thigmotropism

• Transpiration

The plant hormone response to light

• Transpiration

• Thigmotropism

• Geotropism
