Definition of flower parts:
Complete Flower: A flower that has all four types of floral organs. Incomplete Flower: A flower that lacks one or more of these sets of floral organs. Flowers may be unisexual (of one sex only). Carpellate: A flower that has carpels (but no stamens), a female flower. Staminate Flower: A flower that has stamens (but no c...
Roots anchoring plants in the soil
absorbing water and nutrients from the soil, a means of vegetative propagation.
Stems supporting leaves, flowers and fruit providing a pathway for movement of substances between the roots and the leaves (translocation) storage of food substances.
photosynthesis within herbaceous stems, a means of vegetative pro...
When the seed germinates, the embryonic root or radicle extends by the division and elongation’s of its cell to form the primary root. Tap root systems develop from only one enlarged primary root, which then forms lateral or secondary roots. Fibrous root systems consists of not only one radicle, but also several additional embryonic roots called ...
Parts of a leaf: Lamina is the blade of the leaf. Margin is the edge of the leaf. Veins conducting tissue of the leaf. Contains xylem which conducts water and minerals from the roots and phloem which moves sugars and other products from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Midrib is the central conducting vein in dicots....
Unisexual (Imperfect). A unisexual flower has either staminate or pistillate structures. Bisexual. (Perfect). A bisexual flower has staminate and pistillate structures. Monoecious. An individual plant with separate (unisexual) staminate and pistillate flowers
Dioecious. When a species has separate staminate flowered plants and pistillate flow...
What are leaves, Leaves are an essential plant organ because they play a vital part in the nutrition of plants. Functions of leaves, Photosynthesis, Transpiration, External leaf structure, How do we tell if we are looking at a leaf or leaflet. Internal leaf structure, Epidermis, Mesophyll tissue, Veins or vascular bundles...
In most leaves there are three types of tissue. Epidermis consist of a single layer of tightly fitting cells on both the upper and lower surface of the leaf. Mesophyll tissue is composed of parenchyma cells and forms the two layers between the upper and lower epidermis. Veins or vascular bundles are the conducting tissues....
Leaves are an essential plant organ because they play a vital part in the nutrition of plants. Leaves vary considerably in shape and form, but they are all have the same function. A leaf is a lateral outgrowth from a stem, arises at a node and possesses a bud in its axil. Functions of leaves Photosynthesis, Transpiration. Leaves have wide variat...
A leaf is a lateral outgrowth of a stem, arising at a node and possessing a bud in its axil. Most leaves have a flattened and expanded lamina (leaf blade) that possesses the green pigment chlorophyll. Fruit is produced following flowering and pollination. Fruit contains seeds, each seed giving rise to a new plant. These structures are highly modifi...
