Plants: Anatomy, Growth, and Function

F3.1 describe the structures of the various types of tissues in vascular plants, and explain the mechanisms of transport involved in the processes by which materials are distributed throughout a plant (e.g., transpiration, translocation, osmosis). ▹
F3.2 compare and contrast monocot and dicot plants in terms of their structures (e.g., seeds, stem, flower, root) and their evolutionary processes. ▹
F3.3 explain the reproductive mechanisms of plants in natural reproduction and artificial propagation (e.g., germination of seeds, leaf cuttings, grafting of branches onto a host tree). ▹
F3.4 describe the various factors that affect plant growth (e.g., growth regulators, sunlight, water, nutrients, acidity, tropism). ▹
