1 Plant System Notes

This document contains notes about plant systems and their various parts and functions. It defines tissues and lists the main components of plant cells like cell walls made of cellulose. It describes plant organ systems including the root system which absorbs water and minerals, and the shoot system which includes stems and leaves. Leaves perform photosynthesis using chloroplasts, while vascular tissue transports water, minerals and the photosynthate glucose throughout the plant. Plant hormones also allow responses to stimuli. The notes provide an overview of plant anatomy and physiology.
