𝗕𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗬—a branch of biology that deals with the study of plants, including their structure, properties, and biochemical processes. Also included are plant classification and the study of plant diseases and of interactions with the environment.
Plant body in higher plants is made up of root system and shoot system:
𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗔 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗧—parts of a plant above the soil that we can see.
𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗔 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗧—parts of a plant below the soil that we can't see.
Parts of Plants and their functions:
𝗙𝗥𝗨𝗜𝗧—Protect the seeds
𝗙𝗟𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥—It helps in reproduction
𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗘𝗦—It collects sunlight and makes food for the plant. Performs Photosynthesis
𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠—it is strong and helps hold the plant. It also allows water and nutrients to flow up to leaves. Protects the plant
𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗧𝗦—It absorbs water and minerals from the soil and holds the plant so it doesn't fall over
Parts of Plant Cells and their functions:
𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐋
• Rigid structure made of cellulose
• Provide strength and structure to cell and plant
• Allows fluid to move freely through
𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐄
• Separates the cell from the outside environment
• aka Phospholipid bilayer
• Has structure for material transport
𝐂𝐘𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐌
• Everything within the cell membrane
• Not the same as the cytosol
𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐕𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐎𝐋𝐄
• Used for storage
• Plays a role in plant shape and stability
• Gives plant turgor pressure
𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐆𝐈 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐒
• Packaging and shipping center of the cell
• Modifies molecules and proteins and ships them out of cell
𝐑𝐈𝐁𝐎𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐒
• Made of proteins and RNA
•Responsible for translating RNA into Proteins
𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐂 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐔𝐌
• Aides in reproduction and storage of proteins
• It gives a "rough" texture
• Proteins made in rough ER sent to Golgi
𝐒𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐓𝐇 𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐂 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐔𝐌
• Does not contain ribosomes
• Involved in lipid production
• Aides in detoxification
𝐍𝐔𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐔𝐒
• Where DNA is stored and protected
• Information that comes out of the nucleus determines how the cell function
𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐎𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐀
• Where cells and organisms get energy
• Main producer of ATP, the energy currency of the cell
𝐂𝐇𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓
• Convert energy from the sun to form basic carbohydrates
• Source of usable energy for nearly all life
𝐂𝐘𝐓𝐎𝐒𝐊𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐎𝐍
• Vast infrastructure of microtubules and microfilaments
• Gives cells shapes and structural support
𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐒
• Responsible for the production of microtubules
• Play a critical role in mitosis, helping the cell divide
