Plant cells are eukaryotic cells which are similar to the animal cells but there some
structures that are only present in plant cells which includes the chloroplast which is
responsible for photosynthesis. There is also the large vacuole which includes water,
nutrients and other chemicals. Tissues are group of similar cells performing a specific
function. There are three major types of plant tissues which includes parenchyma,
collenchyma and sclerenchyma.
2. Plant Anatomy
Plant anatomy discusses the different parts of a plant. Knowledge of its parts
provides us better understanding on how it performs its function. Its anatomy is divided into
two system which includes the shoot and the root system. The Shoot system includes the
flower, leaves and stem while the root system includes the roots.
There are specific plant tissues that are responsible for plant transport which
includes the xylem and the phloem. The xylem transports water throughout the plant’s body
whereas the phloem transports food and nutrients. External respiration involves the
exchange of gases between plants and its environment. Plants give off oxygen and takes in
carbon dioxide from its environment.
4. Plant respiration
After photosynthesis, the sugar that has been produced is used by plant to harness
energy for plant growth. Respiration involves different process such as Glycolysis, Krebs
Cycle, Calvin Cycle and Electron transport chain.
5. Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a process whereby green plants can make food. Such process
takes place in the leaves, specifically in the chloroplast which is made up of the outer
membrane, inner membrane, stroma and the thylakoid that are stack as granum. The
process also involves this equation.
There are two process that are involved in photosynthesis. These are light
dependent reaction and the light independent reaction.

6. Plant reproduction
Plant reproduction involves the process whereby plants can produce offsprings.
There are to modes of reproduction among plants. This includes sexual and asexual
reproduction. In sexual reproduction, plants produce offsprings through the fusion of
gametes whereas in asexual reproduction, plants give rise to new offsprings which are
identical to its self and does not involve gametes. Examples of asexual reproduction
includes, budding, vegetative propagation and spore formation,
With the necessity of plants to survive on the changing environment, plants may
develop specialized structures which could help them adapt to its environment.
8. Plant genetics
Plant genetics explains how traits are being passed on from parents to its offsprings.
It also includes how the genetic information in plants are used as GMO to improve harvest
and address agricultural issues.
9. Plant Systematics
I’m so sorry miss. I really don’t have any idea about it.
