PARTS OF PLANTS

Cards (24)

  • ESSENTIAL AND UNDERGROUND PART OF PLANTS
    ROOTS
  • PART THAT IS FOUND ABOVE THE GROUND. BARK OF TREES ARE BROWN, AND YOUNGER STEMS ARE GREEN. NODE IS WHERE THE LEAVES ARISE
    STEM
  • CONTAINS CHLOROPHYLL THAT HELP THE PLANTS PREPARE FOOD FROM SUNLIGHT. 3 PARTS: PETIOLE, LEAF BEASE, LAMINA
    LEAVES
  • 3 PARTS OF LEAVES
    PETIOLE, LEAF BASE, LAMINA
  • REPRODUCTIVE PART OF PLANT
    FLOWERS
  • ovary that developes after fertilization. PARTHENOCARPY are those ovaries that developes without fertilization.
    FRUITS
  • colorful part. Attracts insects and birds
    PETALS
  • leafy parts present under that flower. Protect flower bud from damage
    sepals
  • o    male part. Consist of anther and filament
    STAMENS
  • o    female part. Consist of stigma, style, ovary.
    PISTIL
  • o    green leaves prepare the foods. They use water and carbon dioxide with sunlight.
    PHOTOSYNTHESIS
  • o    removal of excess water from plants through tiny pores called STOMATA
    TRANSPIRATION
  • leaves help with the reproduction
    REPRODUCITON
  • o    Converts kinetic energy in light to potential energy in the bonds of carbohydrates
    §  6CO^2 + 6H2O light energy C6H12O6 + 6O2
    PHOTOSYNTHESIS
  • o    Sunlight consists of ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation. They are all a small part of electromagnetic radiation
    ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
  • o    Moves in waves
    o    The shorter the wavelength, more kinetic energy
    PHOTONS
  • o    Contain several pigment that capture light energy
    o    Most abundant is CHLOROPHYLL A. it is a green photosynthetic pigment
    PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENTS
  • §  Energy-capturing pigment molecules
    §  Absorb wavelength of light that chlorophyll a cannot absorb

    ACCESSORY PIGMENT
  • §  Chlorophyll b
    §  Carotenoids
    ACCESSORY PIGMENT IN PLANTS
  • PLANTS EXCHANGE GASES THROUGH STOMATA
    SITES OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
  • CONTAINS ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF CHLOROPLASTS
    MESOPHYLL
  • * Contains a gelatinous fluid called STROMA
    * STROMA surrounds GRANA
    * Enclosed by THYLAKOID SPACE
    CHLOROPLASTS
  • * OCNSIST OF PROTEINS
    * ANTENNA PIGMENTS
    * REACTION CENTER
    PHOTOSYSTEM
  • 2 STAGES OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
    LIGHT REACTION, CARBON REACTION
