Plant Structures and their Functions

Cards (25)

  • Stomata are openings on the surface of leaves, stems, and other parts of plants that allow gases to enter or exit the leaf.
  • Plants have specialized structures called root hairs that increase the surface area available for water absorption from soil.
  • The guard cell is responsible for controlling the size of the pore through which gas exchange occurs between the plant and its environment.
  • Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata based on environmental conditions such as light intensity and humidity levels.
  • Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata based on environmental conditions such as light intensity, humidity, and temperature.

  • The epidermis is the outermost layer of cells that covers all plant organs.

  • Root hair cells are elongated and thin-walled, with numerous mitochondria and chloroplasts for energy production.
  • Root hair cells are elongated and thin-walled, with numerous mitochondria and chloroplasts for energy production.
  • Root hair cells are found at the tips of roots and play an important role in absorbing nutrients and water from the soil.
  • The epidermis is a single layer of cells covering the outer surfaces of plant organs such as roots, stems, and leaves.
  • Root hair cells are elongated cells found at the tips of roots that greatly increase the surface area available for water uptake by the plant.
  • Epidermal cells may be covered by cuticle, which provides protection against desiccation and pathogens.
  • Root hairs also play a role in nutrient uptake by absorbing minerals dissolved in the soil solution.
  • Root hair cells have elongated projections that greatly increase the surface area available for absorption.
  • Xylem tissue transports water and minerals upwards from the roots to the rest of the plant.
  • Stomatal pores can be opened or closed by changes in turgor pressure within the guard cells.
  • Epidermal tissue consists of dead cells with waxy cuticles covering them.
  • Root hair cells play an important role in absorbing nutrients and minerals from the soil into the plant's xylem vessels.
