1. Bellwork: February 19 Copy the statement and question Underline key words

2. CO: I will describe and analyze the transport system in plants. LO: I will write notes. I will draw a feedback loop. I will talk about the transport system with my peers.

3. Science Fact of the Day: An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

4. Homeostasis refers to an organisms ability to maintain a stable internal condition Think-Pair-Share What are some examples of things your body regulates? **Regulate=maintain homeostasis***

5. Homeostasis is maintained through feedback loops Negative feedback loop = when something goes wrong the opposite thing is added to return to the original condition – Ex. Shivering Positive feedback loop = when something goes wrong more of the same thing is added to return to the original condition – Ex. Blood clots when you cut your finger

6. Is this a positive or negative feedback loop?

7. Today we’re going to look at how plants maintain homeostasis.

8. Vascular tissue: specialized tissue used to move water and nutrients throughout a plant.

9. Roots Hold plant in position Absorb water and minerals from the soil Specialized cells to increase surface area for water intake

10. Wheat seed Root hairs Fragile parts of cells that grow from the main root They massively increase the surface area for absorption

11. Root hair cells (x150)

13. Stems: - are supporting structures that connect roots and leaves - carry water and nutrients between them through the xylem and phloem.

14. Xylem: carries water upward from the roots to every part of the plant. Phloem: transports food (nutrients) produced by photosynthesis.

15. Leaves are organs that perform photosynthesis and contain one or more bundles of vascular tissue.

16. Cuticle: a thick waxy layer on the top of the leaf that protects the leaf against water loss and injury.

17. Structures of the Leaf Photosynthesis Conserves water Transports water and sugar to stem and roots

18. Stoma position

19. Leaf diagram – palisade layer CO 2 Most chlorophyll

20. Gas exchange Leaves are designed to allow carbon dioxide to get to the main chlorophyll layer at the top of the leaf They have small holes called stomata on the under surface Each hole is open & closed by 2 guard cells

21. Stomata: openings in the underside of the leaf that allow carbon dioxide and oxygen to diffuse (move) into and out of the leaf. Guard cells: specialized cells in the epidermis that control the opening and closing of stomata.

22. Stomata are small holes Its size is controlled by 2 guard cells closed open

23. The stomata’s function is for gas exchange in the leaf Carbon dioxide oxygen Guard cell Provided plant is photosynthesising

24. Stomata open and close at different times of the day When it is light the plant needs CO 2 for photosynthesis so the stoma open At night (darkness) they close

25. Gas exchange

26. Transpiration is the loss of water through leaves.

27. Osmotic pressure keeps a plant’s leaves and stems rigid. Wilting results from the lack of water—and therefore of the pressure in a plant’s cells.

29. Why Regulate Stomata

30. Mix-Freeze-Group I am the vascular tissue that transports nutrients through the plant. I am the structure around the stomata that allows gases to enter and exit the leaf. I am the process during which water is lost through the leaves. I am the vascular tissue that transports water throughout the plant. Phloem Xylem Guard CellTranspiration

31. Homeostasis Scenario: What would happen to the plant if there was a drought?

32. Homeostasis Scenario: What would happen to the plant if there was a flood?

33. Homeostasis Scenario: What would happen to the plant if there was extra carbon dioxide in the air due to some crazy person singing to it everyday?

34. Homeostasis Scenario: What would happen to the plant if there was not enough carbon dioxide in the air?
