Plants Basic Needs
Plants need this to power photosynthesis.
Sunlight
The type of root is thin and hair-like
Fibrous
This zone is responsible for making new cells for the roots
zone of cell division
This type of stem has bark and tends to overwinter
woody stems
onion is an example of this type of stem modification
bulb
the surface layer on the leaf (upper and lower)
epidermis
The two basic parts of a leaf are
blade & petiole
Plants need this to transport nutrients
Water
This type of root grows straight down and is drought tolerant .
Tap root
Cells in this zone are fully specialized
Zone of maturation
this type of stem is succulent and tender and does not often overwinter
Herbaceous
ginger is an example of this type of stem modification
Rhizomes
this part of the leaf is made up by the xylem and phloem
veins
The edge of a leaf
Margin
Plants need this for cellular respiration
Air (or glucose)
A radish is an example of this type of root
tap root
This zone is where cells begin to specialize and makes the root longer
Zone of elongation
This part of the stem is at the top and is where most of the plants growth occurs
terminal bud (or apical)
Potato is an example of this type of stem modification
tubers
This part of the leaf close the stomata as a response to stress
guard cells
The top tip of the leaf is called the
apex
The N in NPK
Nitrogen
Grass is an example of this root type
Fibrous
The ___________ is responsible for moving nutrients up the plant
xylem
This part of the stem is very important when deciding where to cut a plant. It is found in the "arm pit" of the leaf and stem.
Axillary bud
garlic is an example of this stem modification
bulb
This part of the leave is an opening the allows for gas and water exchange
stomata
This leaf type has only one blade
simple
The K in NPK
Potassium
adventitious
This part of the root draws in nutrients for the soil
root hairs
Region between two nodes
internode
Taro is an example of this stem modifications
corms
This unique ability of plants allow it to angle towards the light to increase photosynthesis
Phototropism
this type of leaf has multiple little leaves called "leaflets"
Compound
