Roots (function) - ANS ✔✔Increases the surface area of the root system which increases to the
absorption of H2O and nutrients from the soil
Leaves (function) - ANS ✔✔Important because photosynthesis occurs here and consist of
important structures that allow nutrients to enter and leave the cell
Epidermis - ANS ✔✔Outer layer of tissue
Stoma - ANS ✔✔Openings in the epidermis and cuticle that allow gases into and out of the
plant. It also contains chloroplasts
Guard cells - ANS ✔✔Open and close the stomata in response to conditions such as light or
water loss
Stems - ANS ✔✔Contains vascular bundles that contain phloem fibers and xylem fibers which
allow plants to shoot water up their stem for photosynthesis. The vascular bundle is a thin layer
of cells called the procambium.
Apical meristems - ANS ✔✔Grows upwards and are areas of rapid cell division. Parenchymal
cells divide creating embryotic tissues known as the primary meristem or the ground meristem,
protoderm and procambium. This upward growth is known as primary growth. Located on top
of the plant and is known as the shoot apical meristem.
Bud meristems - ANS ✔✔The bud meristem is located adjacent to the apical meristem which
