Function of leaves § Trap light energy for photosynthesis Producing sugar from photosynthesis § Exchange of gases – oxygen and carbon dioxide

Structure Wide Helps to catch more light energy Thin Help get carbon dioxide from bottom to top of leaf for photosynthesis

Gas exchange § Leaves are designed to allow carbon dioxide to get to the main chlorophyll layer at the top of the leaf § They have small holes called stomata on the under surface § Each hole is open & closed by 2 guard cells

Stoma is a small hole Its size is controlled by 2 guard cells closed

Stoma is a small hole Its size is controlled by 2 guard cells closed open

Stoma function is for gas exchange in the leaf Guard cell oxygen Provided plant

Stoma function is for gas exchange in the leaf Guard cell oxygen Provided plant is photosynthesising Carbon dioxide

Stomata open and close at different times of the day When it is light

Stomata open and close at different times of the day When it is light the plant needs CO 2 for photosynthesis so the stoma open At night (darkness) they close

Roots – function and structure § Hold plant in position § Absorb water and minerals from the soil § Specialised cells to increase surface area for water intake

Wheat seed Root hairs Fragile parts of cells that grow from the main root They massively increase the surface area for absorption
