PLANTS Parts of the plants 1. Roots 2. Leaves 3. Stem (flowering) 4.Trunks (trees) 5.

Flowers ROOTS -hold the plant to the ground -they absorb water and minerals from the soil and bring these up to the stem and leaves/ Three Main Parts Primary - the first root to develop from the seed - the largest root to form in the plant Secondary - small roots that branch out Root Hairs very fine root look like short pieces of string that attaches and grows from secondary root. Adventitious roots - root grow in unusual places above the ground which provide additional support for some trees and plants. Types of Root System Taproot System Fibrous Root Prop Roots roots that grow from the lower part of the stem above the ground. Aerial Roots roots that cling to the branches of trees. it gets water from the air. STEMS -is the part of a plant that transports water and minerals up from the roots and food down from the leaves. 2 kinds: Woody Stems are non-green stems that are thick and hard, covered with bark. Herbaceous Stems are soft and green stems and usually do not grow tall. Bark is the rough, outer covering of a woody stem. Herbs plants with herbaceous stems. they are not strong as woody stem.

LEAVES Chlorophyll the green coloring pigmentthat captures light energy from the sun. Photosynthesis is the process of making food in plants. Stomata tiny openings of the leaves through which carbon dioxide enters. Parts of a leaf Leaf Blade - the expanded portion of the leaf (broad flat part) Midrib the middle part of the leaf blade Veins the branches of midrib. it carries water to the leaf Petiole is the leafstalk that connect the leaf to the stem Stipules they look like two small leaflets at the base of the stalk.

Kinds of leaf Simple Leaf has only one leaf blade attached to a petiole Compund Leaf consists of many leaf blades attached to one petiole. ex. malunggay Characteristics of Leaves Toothed leaves with margins or edges that looked like a saw ex. rose and squash Entire leaves with smooth edges Lobed leaves with irregular edges ex. ampalaya Veins are small tubes that carry food and water in a leaf. 2 kinds of leaves venations paralleled veins netted vein According to arrangement Opposite a pair of leaves arise from a single node ex. santan Alternate one leaf attached at each node on ach side of the stem ex. gumamela Whorled three or more leave arise from a single node of the stem ex. aloe veras FLOWER Flowering plants plants that bears or has flowers. Non- Flowering plants- that does not produce flowers They differ in color, odor, textures and sizes. Flowers with bright colors are pollinated by bees and butterflies Flowers with foul smell are pollinated by houseflies Flowers that brightly colored and do not have fragrance are pollinated by wind and water

Parts of Flowers Petals the colorful part of the flower Sepals smaller than petals and are green in color Receptacle it held the petal and sepal together Pistil female organ of the flower Stamen male organ of the flower Perfect Flower a flower that has both male and female organ Imperfect Flower a flower that lacks both the male and female organ. ex. papaya FRUITS The part of the plant that contains the seeds is called the fruit Seeds this is produces by flowering plants -the life of new plant begin with seed Cotyledons seed leaves 2 parts of baby plant leaf bud root bud Cactus- plant that lives on the dessert Classifying plants according to stem Woody plants- are those with stems that are hard and usually brown. Trees are usually tall and have one large stem called the _____ Shrubs grow very low or close to the ground. Vinesare the crawling or creeping plants. Herbsnon-woody - have soft, usually smooth and greenish stems.

Classifying plants according to seed leaves or cotyledons 2 groups of flowering plants Monocots plants that produces one seed leaf Dicots plant that produces two seed leaf Classifying plants according to Flower Parts complete a flower that all parts present ex. gumamela incomplete a flower that lacks one or more parts of the flower. ex. ilang-ilang has no petals, orchids has no sepals perfect has pistil and stamen imperfect flowers has no pistil and no stamen.
