    Plant Structures

    What youll learn...


    The many internal (inside) and external (outside)
    structures of plants

    How these structures work to support
    survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction

    What are plants?
    Plants are 1 of the 2 groups into which
    living things are traditionally divided
    Some characteristics:
    - Multicellular
    - Possesses cellulose
    - Carries out photosynthesis


    Thorns
    Thorns protect plants
    Plants cannot move, so they need to be
    able to protect themselves
    Plants thorns were evolutionarily selected
    over time.

    Stems



    Support leaves and flowers
    Transports water and food within the
    plant
    Cylindrical in shape, usually branched and leafy


    Roots
    Roots absorb water and nutrients from
    the soil
    They keep plants in the ground
    They act as a storage for some plants

    Colored Petals
    The colors of petals attract pollinators like
    bees and butterflies
    Petals produce nectar
    Protects certain parts of the plant
    Mainly functions as an aid to pollination
    Pollination
    Pollen is moved from the male part of the
    plant (the anther) to the female part of
    the plant (the stigma).
    Pollination results in fertilization, which
    then results in reproduction
    Animals such as birds and insects move
    the pollen around and act as pollinators
