Warmup: February 24, 2014
1. List three functions of roots and three functions of
stems.
Roots: supply plants with water and dissolved minerals,
hold plants secure to soil, store surplus food for
photosynthesis
Stems: support plant body, transport materials from
the root system and the shoot system, store materials
such as cacti (water)
Go over test…
gymnosperm vs. angiosperm
#6, 7 (remember the fire with the moss?)
#16 (not that they split open)
Talk about cotyledons, vascular tissue,
veins
#18 Rhizomes…
Other reproduction methods…
1. plantlets-tiny plants that grow along the edges of a
plant’s leaves, they fall off and grow on their own
2. Tubers-underground stems can produce new plants
3. Runners-above-ground stems which new plants can
grow
