Plant Structure and Primary Growth
Students will explore the basic anatomy of vascular plants, including roots, stems, and leaves, and their primary growth patterns.
Key Questions
- Differentiate the primary functions of roots, stems, and leaves in vascular plants.
- Analyze how the arrangement of vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) supports plant growth and transport.
- Explain the role of meristematic tissues in continuous plant growth and development.
