Structures and

functions of plants
Mrs. haya almomani
Objective: We will construct an argument that plants and
Lesson1 structures and functions of plants
animals have internal and external structures that function
to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction. 4-
LS1-1

Agenda:
You will need:
 Introductory(2-6) - Science book
 Plant Needs (10)
 Plant parts(12)
 Plant
Reproduction(14)
 Plant survival and
behavior(16)
Are plants living
or nonliving
things?
Plants are living things if
plants do not get their
basic needs they will wilt
and die
Why the plants is very
important to us?

 They give us food


 Provide us the fresh air where
we breath
 Create (homes) for many
animals
Think about the difference
between the plants, is these
plants have the same needs?
What does a plant
need to grow?
Plants basic
needs
Water
• Plants need water
to grow.​
• Plants get water
from the roots.​
• Used water to
move food through
plants.​
• Without water
plants will droop,
wilt and die.
Air
• Plants
need carbon dioxid
e (CO2) to
make food.​
• ​
• Plants
need Oxygen (O2) to
break down food.
Sunlight
• Light
gives warmth and e
nergy.​
• ​
• Plants need light
also to make food
( sugar)
Soil
• Soil holds plants to
help them to grow
their roots. ​
• ​
• Soil provides plants
with Nutrients like
nitrogen, calcium, and
potassium.
Space
• Plants need
space
for roots to:​
• Spread out.​
• Grow well.​
• Get good
access to light.

Will not have enough space, so they might not be able to get
enough water, air, sunlight, or nutrients, and they might die
Plant part(12)
Plants are very similar
to humans and have
different parts for
different functions, the
important parts of a
plants are
Ste
m
The stem supports the plant it holds the
plant upright and stem carries water, food
and minerals to the parts of the plant from
the roots, they are two type of stem
 Woody stem(hard)

 Soft stem(green and flexible)


Root
s
Help to absorb water and
minerals from the soil, and
also hold the plant in place
Some roots store food the
plant has made
Leaves
 Vary in shapes and lines(most of the leaves have a line of symmetry which means
their shape can be divided into two identical parts.

 Leaves are the site of gas exchange and food production

 Most leaves are flat which allows them to collect the sunlight
Hold the plant in place take in water and
utrients

Support the plant transport materials

Capture light and are the site of gas


xchange
Plants differ in shape and size, but
they all have stems, leaves, roots
Plant reproduction
What structures do plants use to reproduce?
Seeds
 Contain an embryo
surrounded by food
and an outer seed
coat
 This embryo is the
beginning of a new
organism
 It will live off of the
food supply until it is
big enough to make
its own food
Aren't we supposed to sow seeds to grow
plants?

Many plants can be


grown without seeds,
how?
Flowers
They are two kinds of
flowers

Flowers which is has both


male and female parts are
called perfect flowers

Flowers which has either


male or female parts are
called imperfect flowers
 The stamen is the
male part it contains
the anther where
pollen is produced

 The pistil is the


female part it
contains the ovary,
where egg cells are
produced
• Many a time, insects and birds sit on these flowers and carry
these pollen grains to the stigma, which is the sticky surface at
the top of the pistil, sometimes these pollen grains are also
carried by the wind
• Fertilization occurs once the content inside the pollen joins the
eggs cell inside the ovary
• Seeds develop after fertilization
Cones
 Some seeds reproduce with cones
 These plants usually produce male
and female cones

 The male cones produce pollen


that is released into the wind
 The female cones produce a sticky
liquid that captures the pollen
 Fertilization occurs in the
female cone
Seeds
Seeds contain an embryo
surrounded by a food supply
and an outer seed coat

An embryo is the beginning of a


new organism it will live off of
the food supply until it is big
enough to make its food
Fruits
As a seed develop the ovary enlarges
into a fruit, which protects the
seed, some fruits appeal to
animals, which eat the fruits and
spread the plant’s seed in their
droppings
The embryo gets food from the seed and is protected by the
seed coat (an embryo is needed for reproduction
How do Plants survive in the desert?
Plant Survival and
Behavior
How can the plant survive?

The environment presents challenges to the organism


that lives, adaptation (a physical trait or behavior
that helps the organism to survive in its environment )

Dessert plants have adaptations for living in a hot


and dry environment (cacti)how?
A thick waxy stem that stores water
Have dense, shallow roots to soak up rain quickly
Rainforest plants(hot, wet conditions) ,
(orchids)

• An orchid’s aerial roots absorb


nutrients and anchor the plant high in
a tree

• The leaves are shaped to drain


excess water to prevent rotting
How do Plants survive from
predators?
how the plant defines itself from animals
that would eat them?(adaptations to
protect )

Some plants have thorns


Other plants produce chemicals
that are poisonous or taste
bad
Which plant will survive?

A B
The roots steam leaves and flowers help them get the
resources that they need to survive and reproduce in their
unique habitats, different structures but have the same
purpose
Plant behavior

What happens when


sunlight hits the leaves
of a plant?
Its response by turning toward the
sunlight
The reaction or change in behavior of an
organism is called the response
A change in an environment that causes an
organism to respond is called the
stimulus
The direction growth response of plants is
called tropism
plant responses to water, gravity, light,
and touch
Phototropism

Gravitropism

Hydrotropism

Phototropism
Gravitropism
Hydrotropism Thigmotropism
Thigmotropism

Internal structures that allow them to react to change their


behavior in order to get the resources they need to live and
grow
Adaptation

The roots steam leaves and


flowers help them get the
resources that they need to
Their steam is very woody and survive, different structures
tall to support them, their leaves but have the same purpose
help move the moisture from the
fog to the ground, where it can be
absorbed by their roots
The thick bark helps them survive
a forest fire
