Answer the following questions. You may use as much space as needed. You must use one source OTHER than your textbook. Each source you use must have a citation and reference provided. After you have completed this assignment please submit it online as a .doc, .docx or .rtf file.

Part 1: Roots

1.) Explain how to distinguish between the 4 regions/zones of the root structure. Include in your discussion the function of each region.

2.) Japanese gardeners regularly trim away parts of a root system to assist them in dwarfing a plants size. If a plants food is obtained through photosynthesis (in the leaves) why does cutting the roots cause the plant to be smaller in size?

3.) Name one root that is commonly eaten here in the United States

Part 2: Stems

1.) Explain some of the differences in stem structures between monocots and dicots

2.) One of the most commonly used types of stem throughout the world is wood. Explain the different properties that different species of tree possess. How do these characteristics determine how the wood is used.

Part 3: Leaves

1.) Name 3 different types of cells found within a leaf. (Fig 7.6 in your textbook). Explain the function of each type of cell.

2.) Explain what the process of abscission is and how it occurs.

Part 4: Flowers and Seeds

1.) Throughout the plant kingdom, there is a high level of variation in the characteristics of flowers. Flowers are different colors, sizes, shapes, smell different and even bloom at different times. Explain why some of this variation occurs. (In other words, why not look the same as everyone else. Is there an evolutionary advantage to being different?)

2.) Explain why we also see a high level of variation in the structure and appearance of seeds.

Each question needs to use an outside source, and you must have citations and reference for each question.
