BIOL 112 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Lateral Root, Root System, Plant Cell
Document Summary
Light energy used to synthesize carbohydrates from co 2 in the air and h 2 o in the. Also require nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and others soil. Key elements primarily exist as ions dissolved in water. Plant anatomy: organization of the plant body. Takes in water and nutrients from soil. Conducts water and ions to the shoot system. Obtain energy from the sugar in the shoot system. Stores molecules produced in the shoot system. Taproot: longest root reaching the farthest down. Shoot system leaves are attached), or internodes (segments between nodes) Harvests light and carbon dioxide from atmosphere. Stems : vertical above-ground structures consisting of nodes (where. Apical bud : bud growing at tip of each stem and branch. Axillary (lateral) bud : bud growing between stem and leaf, form at nodes. Apical and axillary buds may develop into flowers. Transport of water, sugar, and nutrients through vascular tissue in the just above the site of leaf attachment stem.
