https://padlet.com/tony_khoo/fat1nlcxp1qu A plant has two organ systems: 1) the shoot system, and 2) the root system. The shoot system is above ground and includes the organs such as leaves, buds, stems, flowers (if the plant has any), and fruits (if the plant has any). en-us 2016-10-03 05:08:11 UTC 2026-02-03 14:41:18 UTC hello@padlet.com tony_khoo https://padlet.com/tony_khoo/fat1nlcxp1qu/wish/127779671 The roots hold the plant firmly in the ground. The roots transport water and mineral salts from the soil to all parts of the plant]]> 2016-10-03 05:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tony_khoo/fat1nlcxp1qu/wish/127779671 tony_khoo https://padlet.com/tony_khoo/fat1nlcxp1qu/wish/127779906 There are two vascular bundles in the stem. There are mainly the xylem and phloem. Strong stems are able to hold the leaves to reach out for more sunlight]]> 2016-10-03 05:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tony_khoo/fat1nlcxp1qu/wish/127779906 tony_khoo https://padlet.com/tony_khoo/fat1nlcxp1qu/wish/127779980 The vascular bundles are made up of xylem and phloem. The xylem carries water from the roots to the leaves and the phloem carries food from the leaves to all parts of the plant.
The phloem is located on the outer ring of the vascular bundle]]> 2016-10-03 05:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tony_khoo/fat1nlcxp1qu/wish/127779980 tony_khoo https://padlet.com/tony_khoo/fat1nlcxp1qu/wish/127780089 The leaves contain chlorophyll which are able photosynthesise and make food under the exposure of sunlight. The leaves also facilitate the gaseous exchange of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.]]> 2016-10-03 05:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tony_khoo/fat1nlcxp1qu/wish/127780089 tony_khoo https://padlet.com/tony_khoo/fat1nlcxp1qu/wish/127780248 The roots have extensions called root hairs to increase surface area for more efficient absorption of materials from the soil.]]> 2016-10-03 05:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tony_khoo/fat1nlcxp1qu/wish/127780248 tony_khoo https://padlet.com/tony_khoo/fat1nlcxp1qu/wish/127780426 The plant stems are classified into main categorises.
