PLANT BODY
PLANTS
- Cannot move, but they adjust to their
environment by growing and changing their
form.
- Begins life by growing roots and shoots.
Root system – made up of roots.
Shoot system – made up of stem that have
leaves, cones, flower and fruits.
PLANT TISSUES
• Plants have meristems that forms cells which
develop into different cell types.
3 TYPES OF TISSUES
1.Ground tissues
2.Dermal tissues
3.Vascular tissues
DERMAL TISSUE SYSTEM
• It covers the outer surface of plants.
• It is composed of a layer of tightly-packed,
flattened cells called epidermis
Cuticle – waxy substance that protects the plants
from water loss
Stomata – opening in the epidermis
Trichomes – plays an important role in regulating
the heat and water balance of the leaf.
Root hairs – outgrowth leaves.
- underground on the surface of the
roots near the tip, keep the root in contact
with soil particles.
- plays an important role in the
absorption of water and mineral from the soil.
GROUND TISSUE SYSTEM
- It is located at the center of stems and the
middle of leaves.
3 KINDS OF TISSUES
a. Parenchyma – a living tissue that consists of
large, roughly cube-shaped cells with thin cell
walls.
b.Collenchyma – are living tissues made up of
elongated cells with unevenly thickened,
flexible walls.
c. Sclerenchyma – which is made up of the walls
of dead cells at maturity, support and
strengthen the plants.
- it have a tough, thick secondary walls
that do not stretch, primarily found in regions
that have ceased growing.
Fibers – long, slender cells that usually form
strands.
Sclereids/ stone cells – they are made up of the
bulk of stones of peaches.
VASCULAR TISSUE SYSTEM
- Enables water, minerals and sugars to move
through the roots, stems and leaves in the
plants.
Xylem – the vascular tissue in plants that
transfers water and minerals from roots to
leaves.
Phloem – the specialized tissue in plants that
conducts dissolved sugars from roots to leaves.
PLANT ORGANS
1. Roots – anchor the plant and absorb water
and nutrients from the soil.
a. taproot
b. fibrous root
2. Stem – supports the plants and transport both
water and organic materials.
a. monocot stem
b. dicot stem
3. Leaves – are the main photosynthesis
structure.
ACTIVITY
1. Using the Venn diagram below, illustrate the
interrelations among plants parts.
PERFORMANCE
1. In a group, research on how plants can be
propagated through hydroponics or
aeroponic. Select one method and design a
set up on propagating plants using this
method. Show your presentation to the class.
PLANT HORMONES
1. Auxins – A plant hormone that regulates cell
elongation.
2. Gibberellins – substances produced by a
fungus that stimulate plant growth.
3. Cytokinins – A hormones that promote cell
division.
4. Ethylene – controls the ripening of fruits.
5. Abscisic acid – it stimulates leaves to age
rapidly and fall off.
TROPISM
• Phototropism
• Geotropism
• Hydrotropism
• Thigmotropism
• Chemotropism
PHOTOPERIODISM
- The response of plants to periods of light
and darkness.
a. Day length
b.Night lenght
