Activating Prior Knowledge

Reflect on the learning outcomes. Complete the table below.

1. Describe the shoot The shoot system serves as the plant’s center of Could the shoot and root system have

what make up this organ system.

The root system is primarily responsible for

attaching the plant to the ground and absorbing
vital minerals, nutrients and water from the soil. It
also serves as a food storage.

Fruit – it is the matured ovary of a plant that
emerges after fertilization, attracts pollinators like
bees and butterflies
Seed – protects the embryo inside
