Plants body system

One way that plants respond to their environment is by growing toward a light source

surrounds and protects the cell. The cell membrane regulates the matter that enters and exits the cell.

Ribosomes make proteins, which do much of the work in a cell.

convert the energy stored in food to a form of energy that cells can use

input: CO2 + water + sunlight Output: oxygen + sugar

one large main root structure with many smaller branch roots. Taproots can grow deep into the soil. ex: carrots

Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water can exit a leaf through the stomata pores. Some plants store wastes in the stem, leaves, or bark

provides support

food is being transported downward through the phloem to other areas of the plant

change in the direction of plant growth in response to gravity

Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down food and recycle molecules in the cell.

prevents the plant from losing water and protects the plant from insects or harsh weather

many branching roots grow close to the soil surface. Fibrous roots can spread wide and form mats that anchor the plant very firmly in the soil.

using stomata. They close to prevent water loss. leaves also have a waxy coating that helps prevent water loss. also store water in their stems

through photosynthesis process as they tale in CO2 , water and sunlight then produce sugar and oxygen

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER) helps process proteins.

which transports water throughout the tree.

prokaryotic cell does not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles

where photosynthesis occurs. plant cells

a group of organs that work together to perform body functions. The leaves, stems, and flowers are organs of the shoot system of a plant.

move water from the roots to the stem, leaves, and flowers.
