Translocation The movement of food around the plant. Phloem tissue In both directions Sugar

Translocation The movement of food around the plant. Phloem tissue In both directions Sugar is transported from the leaf to the root. Beet root. Vascular Tissue Xylem- transports water and minerals. Phloem- transports food.

Learning Check. . . Give functions of the root Give functions of the stem Define osmosis, active transport and diffusion. Compare Monocots to Dicots.

Pollination Is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one plant to the

Pollination Is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another plant Self Pollination – when pollination occurs between flowers on the same plant. Cross Pollination- when pollination occurs between flowers of the same species but on different plant.

Pollination Types Insect Pollinated Lily Large Flowers Scented Brightly coloured Male and female parts

Pollination Types Insect Pollinated Lily Large Flowers Scented Brightly coloured Male and female parts inside flower Sticky pollen grains Small pollen grains Wind pollinated Grass Smaller flowers Not scented Not brightly coloured Male and female parts outside the petals Smooth Pollen grains Large amount of pollen

Fertilisation Is the fusion of the male gamete with the female gamete. It forms

Fertilisation Is the fusion of the male gamete with the female gamete. It forms a Zygote

Development of the embryo, seed and fruit The zygote divides repeatedly until it forms

Development of the embryo, seed and fruit The zygote divides repeatedly until it forms the embryo that will contain: 1 or 2 cotyledons with a food store Plumule Radicle The ovary becomes the fruit

Dispersal Is the transfer of the seeds/fruit away from the parent plant Wind Water

Dispersal Is the transfer of the seeds/fruit away from the parent plant Wind Water Animal Self

Dormancy Where a plant suspends all growth and metabolism Shortage of hormones Low temperature

Dormancy Where a plant suspends all growth and metabolism Shortage of hormones Low temperature Growth inhibitors Maximises growth of the plant. Allows for seed dispersal Ensures survival

Germination Is the regrowth of a plant after a period of dormancy Conditions necessary

Learning Check. . . Name the male and female parts of the flower. What is a calyx and a corolla. Define pollination, fertilisation, dormancy and germination. Differentiate between self and cross pollination. Compare wind pollinated flowers to insect pollinated flowers. What does a plumule and a radicle develop into? Define Dormancy List the conditions necessary for germination. Describe Epigeal and Hypogeal germination using examples.

Lifecycles Annuals/perennial- Complete their lifecycle in one year Biennials- it takes 2 years to complete their lifecycle. In the first year the plant grows leaves, stems, and roots (vegetative structures), then it enters a period of dormancy over the colder months. During the next spring or summer, the stem of the biennial plant elongates greatly, The plant then flowers, producing fruits and seeds before it finally dies.

Plant hormone: AUXIN Naturally produced in the root and shoot tip. It promotes cell

Plant hormone: AUXIN Naturally produced in the root and shoot tip. It promotes cell elongation Stimulates fruit development. Promotes root development. (rooting agent) Control apical dominance Its used in seedless fruits: Parthenocarpic fruit IAA

Giberellin & Cytokinin Encourages cell elongation Promotes seed germination Cytokinin. Used as a herbicide

Giberellin & Cytokinin Encourages cell elongation Promotes seed germination Cytokinin. Used as a herbicide by massively increasing rate of growth and the plant cannot produce enough food and it dies!

Tropism A growth response to a stimulus. Phototropism- A growth response to light Geotropism- a growth response to gravity Thigmotropism- a growth response to touch Chemotropism- A growth response to chemicals Hydrotropism- A growth response to water Thermotropism- A growth response to temperature.
