Chapter 1
Plant Cells
1. ID the parts of a plant cell…
 Chloroplast – holds
chlorophyll
 Plasma Membrane
– Controls entrance
& exits
 Cell Wall – 3 layers
 Vacuole – Store
water
 Mitochondrion –
Respiration
 Nucleus - Genetics

Plant Tissue
5. What are 2 types tissue….
1) Meristem

2) Permanent
6. What are differences……
Meristem actively divides to form
new growth where permanent
does not actively divide
7. What are 3 types meristems..
1) Apical – plant length

2) Cambium – plant diameter

3) Intercalary Zone – stem height

**Cambium Meristem
Intercalary Zone Meristem
8. What two types permanent…
1) Epidermis – outside covering
2) Vascular System – transportation
system of plant
a) Xylem - Up
b) Phloem - Down
 **Five basic parts of a plant:
A. Seeds
• B. Roots
• C. Stems
• D. Leaves
• E. Flowers
Chapter 3
Seeds & Germination
Monocots vs. Dicots

Cotyledon
• First leaves packed full of
nutrients
Parts of a Monocot Seed
Parts of a Dicot Seed
Which is found only in monocots
Endosperm
4 parts of the embryo
1) Cotyledon

2) Epicotyl – “stem”

3) Hypocotyl – “growing point”

4) Radicle – “root”
Legumes
• Dicot plants with pods that fix
their own nitrogen
Steps of Germination
1) Seed absorbs
water
2) Seed coat breaks
open
3) Radicle Emerges
& forms roots
4) Epicotyl breaks
through soil
5) Cotyledon(s)
open
6) Leaves form &
photosynthesis
starts
Chapter 4
Roots
Don’t cut alfalfa in October
Wait Until November
Or Next Year will Look Like….
15. What are 5 types roots….
A) Taproot

B) Fibrous

C) Aerial

D) Adventitious

E) Aquatic

Chapter 5
Stems
Stems are divided into….
Purpose of Stems
• Support
• Transport nutrients & food
• Store some nutrients
Stolon
Rhizomes
Corm
Bulb
Tubers
Xeromorphic Plants
Thick-walled epidermis covered
with waxy cuticle (holds water in
stems)
Chapter 6
Leaves
Interior Parts of Leaf
View Guard Cells &
Stomata of Wandering
Jew
20. What do not have stomata?
Submerged plants (aquatic)
Sac leaves
Leaf Arrangements
• Simple Leaf – one
blade attached to
the stem
• Compound Leaf –
multiple leaves
attached to stem
through petiole
• Palmate – Leaves
come together like
a palm
• Pinnately – leaves
separated by
divisions

places) vs.
Dioecious
(same
place)
