Presentation Transcript

  1. Science 10 • Aim: What are the plant structures, and what are some specialization in plant cells.

  2. Agenda • Science Sizzler. • Plant Notes continued • Quiz rewrite today last chance after school • Worksheets due today if you want the marks (instead of 0) on your report card. • Chem rewrite on Tuesday at lunch. • Bring Pizza Supplies for Tuesday

  3. The leaf tissue and gas exchange Dermal Tissue • Epidermis is on both the top and underside of the leaf. • It is clear and very thin. • Guard cells in epidermis control the opening and closing of stomata that allow gas exchange to happen.

  4. It is not efficient for stomata to remain open at all times. • Guard cells swell up to open stomata, and shrink to close stomata. • Sunlight causes guard cells to actively uptake K ions, which results in the uptake of water through osmosis. • Under increased turgor pressure, the stoma opens.

  5. Guard cells protect the leaves from losing to much water. • The process of water vapour leaving the leaf through the stomata is called transpiration. • The number of stomata in plants is dependent on the environment.

  6. Ground Tissue • Between the upper and lower epidermis is the ground tissue mesophyll. • Mesophyll is broken into two types • Palisade tissue cells • Spongy mesophyll tissue

  7. Palisade tissue cells: • Found just below the upper epidermis. • Long, rigid, rectangular cells that are tightly packed together. • They are exposed to the Sun’s rays. • Responsible for photosynthesis, therefore many chloroplasts. • Require carbon dioxide, and release oxygen

  8. Spongy mesophyll tissue • Between the palisade tissue cells and the lower epidermis. • Loosely packed, irregularly shaped, less rigid cells. • Main function: gas exchange by diffusion throughout the leaf. • Moves oxygen towards stomata to be released, moves carbon dioxide towards palisade cells.

  9. Vascular Tissue • Provides leaf with water needed for transpiration and photosynthesis. • The ribs in a leaf, known as leaf veins, contain the vascular tissue of the leaf

  10. The xylem and phloem tissues are bunched together like a handful of straws in a vascular bundle • Xylem is responsible for water and dissolved salts from the roots to the leaves. • Phloem responsible for transporting produced sugars to the rest of the plant from the leaves.

  11. Gas Exchange in Plants • All gas exchange in plants occurs through diffusion. • No organ specifically concerned with gas exchange • Gases diffuse though air spaces then across the membrane • The leaves not the only place gas exchange occurs

  12. The stems of trees and herbaceous plants may have what appear to be blisters or slashes. • These are natural openings, or pores, that are called lenticels that provide an opening for gas exchange.
