Importance of plants!

Without plants life on earth

would not exist
Plants are:
Produce oxygen
Renew the air
The source of food
Provide a home for wildlife
Beautify surroundings
Furnish building materials and
fuel
Five basic parts of the
plant:
Leaves
Stems
Roots
Flowers
Fruit
The Leaf
Two Functions of the Leaf:
Photosynthesis is the process when
leaf cells containing chlorophyll take in
carbon dioxide and water and using
sunlight, make sugar and oxygen.
Transpiration is the loss of water from
the leaf. This helps to draw water up
through the plant from the roots.
The Stem:
The stem has vessels that
transport sap and water
throughout the plant.
Sap is a nutrient-rich fluid that
contains a lot of sugar.
The Root
The root is the part of the plant that
takes in water and minerals for the
plant.
Roots have root hairs that increase
the surface area for more water
absorption.
The Flowers
The sole function of the flower, which is
generally the showiest part of the plant, is
sexual reproduction. Its attractiveness and
fragrance have not evolved to please man
but to ensure the continuance of the plant
species.
Fruits
They contain the seed. Some
fruits have one seed like
mango, others have more
than one seed like guava. Not
all fruits can be eaten.
