Characteristics of Seed Plants
EQ: How do I describe the function of leaves, stems, roots
and flowers?

Seed Plants • Most common type of plant on Earth
• All seed plants share 2 characteristics– Vascular
tissue– Use seeds to
reproduce
EQ: How do I describe the
function of leaves, stems, roots and
flowers?

Vascular Tissue
• Two types– Phloem – vascular tissue through which food
moves– Xylem – tissue through which water and
nutrient move

roots and flowers?

Seeds • Structures that contain a young plant inside a protective covering
• Different from seedless plants in that they do not need water for sperm to travel

Three parts to a Seed
• Embryo
• Stored food
• Seed coat

Seed Coat
• Outer covering of seed
• Acts like plastic wrap and keeps the seed and its food from drying out
• Allows seed to remain dormant for a long time

Seed Dispersal
• Scattering of seeds
• Dispersed many ways– Animals
• digestion• fur or people’s clothing
– Water– Wind– Some plants shoot out their seeds

Germination• Early growth stage of
the embryo
• Steps to germination– Seed absorbs water
from the environment– Embryo uses stored
food to begin to grow– Embryo’s roots grow
down, then leaves and stem grow upward

Germination
• Seeds which are dispersed far away from the parent have a better chance of survival because it does not have to compete for nutrients, light and water

Leaves
• Most numerous part to a plant
• Role – capture the sun’s energy and carry out the food making process of photosynthesis

Leaf Structure
• Bottom and top layers which protect cells
• Leaf veins that contain the xylem and phloem
• Stomata – – underside of leaf has small pores
or openings– Opens and closes to control the
amount of gas that enters and leaves the leaf

Leaf and Photosynthesis
• Top layer of leaf contains chloroplasts
• Chlorophyll in the chloroplasts trap sun’s energy

Leaf and Photosynthesis
• Carbon Dioxide enters the leaf through the stomata
• Water, which is absorbed by the plants roots, travels up to plant through xylem
• Sugar and oxygen are produced from the CO2 and H2O.

Controlling Water Loss
• Transpiration – process by which water evaporates from a plant’s leaves

Stems
• Two important functions– Carries substances
between roots and leaves
– Supports plant so leaves are exposed to the sun

Structure of a Stem
• Two types of stems– Herbaceous – soft
and flexible– Woody-hard and
rigid

Annual Rings• Represent one year in a
tree’s growth
• Made of xylem– Light rings grow in spring– Dark rings grow in
summer

Types of Roots• 2 types
– Taproot – long thick root with thin roots branching off – carrot, radish, dandelion, cactus
– Fibrous- several main roots that branch repeatedly – lawn, corn, trees

Structure of Root
• Root cap – contains dead cells, protects root from injury
• Dividing cells – cause root to lengthen
• Root hairs – grow out of root surface – increases the surface area of the roots
• Cambium
• Vascular tissue in centerEQ: How do I describe the function of
