|
Nitrate |
Needed to make proteins for general growth |
Mineral with function |
|
|
Phosphate |
Needed make DNA and cell membranes |
Mineral with function |
|
|
Magnesium |
Needed to make chlorophyll (make plant green) |
Mineral with function |
|
|
Potassium |
Needed to make essential enzymes |
Mineral with function |
|
|
Root |
1.absorbs water and inorganic nutrients 2.stores food and nutrients |
|
|
|
Stems |
Support the leaves and to conduct (transport) water and minerals around the plant |
Structure and function |
|
|
Leaves |
This is where the photosynthesis occurs starch is produced so the plant can have nutrients O2 is realised (oxygen) |
Structure and function |
|
|
Flowers |
Are the reproductive part of the plant. Attracts bees,insects & birds |
Structure and function |
|
|
Buds Apical and axillary |
Helps plants grow up and out . (New leaves) |
Structure and function |
|
|
Turgid cell |
Water enters by osmosis, vacuole swells and pushes against the cell wall. (TURGID=TUFF) |
|
|
|
Flaccid Cell |
Water lost form cell vacuole shrinks cell losses shape (FLACCID=FLOPPY) |
|
|
|
Photo synthesis |
Photosynthesis is a PROCESS where by plants make there own food as glucose |
|
|
|
Xylem |
Xylem cells transports water and minerals up the stem from the roots to the shoots and leaves. This transport occurs in one direction only THE CELLS ARE ARRANGED IN VASCULAR BUNDLES |
|
|
|
Phloem |
Phloem cells transport sugars produced in the leaves up and down the stem to the growing and storage tissues. THE CELLS ARE ARANGED IN VASCULAR BUNDLES |
|
|
|
Transpiration |
Transpiration is the loss of water from a plant by EVAPIRATION |
|
|
|
Hot and Dry day = |
HIGH TRANSPIRATION RATE (water leaves the plant) |
|
|
|
Hot and Humid day |
TRANSPIRATION RATE IS LOW (little to no water leaves the plant) |
|
|
|
Where does most transpiration occur ?? |
Via the leaves , via the stomata |
|
|
|
Environmental factors affecting transpiration |
Humidity Atmospheric Pressure Wind Temperature Light Water Potential |
|
|
|
Internal Factors affecting transpiration |
-Leaf Size -Thickness of empidermis &cuticule -Stomata (size,frequency) -Root System -Guard Cells -Age of Life |
