What is a Plant?
Where do plants get water and nutrients?
from their environment
Products of photosynthesis
glucose and oxygen
vascular tissue
specialized tissue that form tubelike structures in plants that carries water and nutrients
Photosynthesis
the internal food-making process in plants
Cell wall
A barrier made of cellulose that encloses and protects the plant cell
Plant reproduction
Land plants need adaptations that make reproduction possible in dry environments.
What do plants need to survive on land?
Obtaining water Retaining water Transporting materials Support Reproduction
Raw materials of photosynthesis
carbon dioxide and water
Tissue
A group of similar cells that perform the same function.
Vacuole
A large storage sac that can expand and shrink
Cuticle
A waxy covering on the surface of stems and leaves that acts as an adaptation to reduce water loss
Chlorophyll
Green pigment in the chloroplasts absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis
Why must land plants support the body?
To ensure they get as much sunlight as possible.
Roots
a plant adaptation that helps a plant get water from soil
Chloroplast
where photosynthesis takes place
