Plant Anatomy

Section 1

The anatomy of a plant is made up of its tissues and cell structures.

Plants rely on root and shoot systems.

The root system

• Keeps the plant in place
• Absorbs water and nutrients from the ground.

The shoot system

• Contains stems, leaves, and reproductive system.

Plant Cells

• Plants are made up of millions of small cells just like animals
• They’re made up of a cell wall,, cytoplasm, a nucleus, chloroplasts, and more
• Each component works together so the cell can make its own food and survive

Photosynthesis

Section 2

Photosynthesis is a biological process.

�During this process, plants use sun, water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to create energy in the form of sugar.

​

First, plants absorb sunlight through the green in their leaves, water through their root system, and carbon dioxide from their leaves.

Then, those resources are used to create energy and are stored for growth and survival.

Finally, plants release oxygen back into the air.

In-Class Activity

Assessment

For this activity, you will get a worksheet that looks like the picture to the left with blank lines.

​

You will fill out the blank lines according to what each part of the plant is doing in the photosynthesis process.
