    Plants are important as they provide oxygen, food, and medicine. They are used in agriculture for crops like grains and wheat, as well as ornamentally for landscaping. The five major parts of a flowering plant are leaves, stems, roots, flowers, and fruit. Leaves collect light for photosynthesis. Stems transport water and nutrients and produce new leaves. Roots anchor the plant, absorb water and nutrients, and store them. Flowers are the reproductive organ and fruit produces seeds.

    0 Describe Principles of Plant


    Growth Production

    14.1 Identifying plant parts and their


    function.
    Why are plants important?
    • Provide oxygen
    • Prevent famine
    • Provide medicine
    How are plants used in
    agriculture?
    • Crops
    – Cereal Grains - wheat, rice
    • Ornamental
    – Landscape design - indoors and
    outdoors
    • Medicine
    – Biotechnology, possible cures
    What are 5 major parts of a
    flowering plant?
    • Leaves
    • Stems
    • Roots
    • Flower
    • Fruit
    Why are leaves important?
    • Collect light
    • Site of photosynthesis
    • Main site of transpiration
    What are the parts of a leaf?
    • Blade: helps with
    collecting the sun’s rays
    • Veins: transport water
    and nutrients
    • midrib: central vein
    • Petiole:point of
    attachment to the stem
    • Nodes: will grow if the
    petiole is removed
    Why is the stem important?
    • Produce and support new leaves
    • Transport water and nutrients to
    and from the roots
    • Storage of nutrients
    What are the parts of a stem?
    • Terminal bud:
    point of new
    growth
    • Lateral bud: point
    of new growth
    • Internode: in-
    Leaf scar

    between points of Bud scale scar

    growth
    Why are the roots important?
    • Provide anchor for the plant
    • Absorb water and nutrients
    • Storage of nutrients and water
    What are the three types of roots?
    • Taproot: absorbs water
    deep in the ground
    -carrots, pecan trees
    • Fibrous roots: roots stay
    close to top soil -
    tomato, bedding plants
    • Adventitious: helps
    plant climb or anchor -
    ivy, strawberries, some
    grasses.
    What are the parts of a root?
    • Primary root: the first
    root to grow
    • Secondary roots:
    branch off of the
    primary root
    • Root hairs: these
    account for 95% of
    water absorption
    Why are flowers important to the
    Plant?
    • Flowers serve as the reproductive
    organ of the plant
    Why is Fruit important to plants?
    • The site of seed production, fruit also
    plays a role in the dissemination of the
    seeds
    Parts of a Flower
    Parts of a Flower
    • Stamen – Male Part
    – Anther - pollen-producing structure
    – Filament - stalk that supports the anther
    • Pistil – Female Part
    – Stigma - place where sticky pollen grains are
    deposited
    – Style - tube where the pollen grains travel from
    the stigma to the ovary
    – Ovary - base of the pistil, where the pollen
    germinates with the ovules, this becomes the fruit
    – Ovules - individual eggs, these are the plant seeds
    Flower Parts
    • Petal – modified leaves that serve to
    attract insects for pollination
    • Sepal – protects the inner parts of
    the flower bud from rain,
    mechanical injury and insects
    • Receptacle – the base where all the
    flower structures are attached
