_______________: Area at the tip of the root where new cells develop
Healthy Roots: Roots are white or nearly white, and smell fresh.
Unhealthy Roots: Roots are black, brown, or dark orange and smell rotten and sour.
III. Stems

Move water, minerals, and manufactured food throughout the whole plant.
B. Internal Structures
Xylem: Tissue responsible for carrying water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. It is located near the center of the
stem.
Xylem Up!!
________: Tissue responsible for carrying food produced in the leaf to the rest of the plant. The phloem is usually located
near the outside of the stem. Phloem Down!!

D. Vein Patterns
E. Leaf Layers:
Cuticle: The top waxy, non-cellular part of the leaf. Its job is to prevent water escaping.
_________: Skin like layer of cells found on both the top and bottom of the leaf. Its job is to protect the leaf.
Palisade Mesophyll: A layer of cells standing on end directly below the upper epidermis. This area is responsible for
photosynthesis.
Spongy Mesophyll: Loosely packed cells located beneath the palisade mesophyll. This area is responsible for holding the
products of photosynthesis.
V. Photosynthesis
A. Photosynthesis: A chemical process by which a plant turns _______ energy from the sun into ________ energy in the form of
sugar.
The plant uses water and carbon dioxide to produce _________ (a sugar). The by-product of photosynthesis is _________.
These chemical reactions take place inside the cells near the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are filled with Chlorophyll which
makes the plants green.
Plants dont photosynthesize. Chloroplasts do! Plants just happen to be lucky enough to have chloroplasts in their cells.
VI. Respiration
A. Cellular ____________: The opposite of photosynthesis. This process breaks _______ down so plants can use them.
Pollen grains are released from the anther that contains sperm.
B. Female
Style: Rod shaped middle part that has a swollen base (ovary) containing eggs
2.
Pollen is carried by wind, gravity, animals, or insects to the stigma of another flower. (This is when pollination occurs)
3.
The pollen moves from the _________ down through in a pollen tube the style depositing sperm in the _________.
4.
When the sperm has been deposited in the ovary ____________ has occurred.
5.
When the eggs have been fertilized, the ovary and surrounding tissue start to enlarge to become a ________ and the
fertilized eggs become _________.
Complete Flower: Flowers that have sepals, petals, pistils, and stamens.
Imperfect Flowers are always incomplete. Incomplete flowers may or may not be imperfect
