\nFour Things to Know about Plant Structure and Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Plants with vascular tissues usually have three types of structures: leaves, roots, and branches.<\/li>\n
  2. Plants have specialized structures to deal with water and nutrients. These include stomata controlled by guard cells, a loosely packed spongy layer, the palisade layer, xylem, and phloem.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Plants produce energy through photosynthesis and lose water via transpiration. As water evaporates from the leaves, it pulls water up through channels in the xylem. The phloem carries nutrients throughout the plant.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Plants can reproduce asexually via vegetative propagation. Sexual reproduction in plants takes place in the flower.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \nRemember that the AP Biology exam tests you on the depth of your knowledge, not just your ability to recall facts. While we have provided brief definitions here, you will need to know these terms in even more depth for the AP Biology exam.
