Lab: Plant Structure
The goal of this lab is to learn about and be able to recognize the various types of cells that occur in a flowering plant.
Introduction:
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). The root system includes those parts of the plant below ground, such as the roots, tubers, and rhizomes.
Angiosperms (“flowering plants”) can be divided into two groups, the monocots and the dicots, on the basis of several diagnostic characteristics.
