Chapter 27 organization of the plant body and. A plant has 2 organ systems : roots and shoots: roots. Mostly above ground includes: stems structural support, leaves photosynthetic production of sugars from sunlight, flowers reproductive organs. ***stringy support strands in celery are collenchyma: sclerenchyma fibres of sclereids structural support. Makes up the bulk of the plant everything other than dermal and vascular tissue. Monocots and eudicots have the same tissues organized in different ways: Have one cotyledon (***seed leaf of embryo) Pollen grain has 1 pore flower is in multiple of 3 leaf veins usually parallel with one another. Eudicots include flowering shrubs and trees, vines, tomatoes and dandelions. Have two cotyledons (seed leaves of embryo) flower is in multiples of 4 or 5. Stem (shoot) form the basic structural framework of a flowering plant, providing support for flowers and keeping leaves positioned for photosynthesis. In many plants they function in storage and reproduction.
