Examples of shoot system in the following topics:
-
- Plants are made up of meristematic and permanent tissues and are supported by shoot and root organ systems.
- Vascular plants have two distinct organ systems: a shoot system and a root system .
- The shoot system consists of two portions: the vegetative (non-reproductive) parts of the plant, such as the leaves and the stems; and the reproductive parts of the plant, which include flowers and fruits.
- The shoot system generally grows above ground, where it absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis.
- The shoot system of a plant consists of leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits.
-
- Stems are a part of the shoot system of a plant.
- The apex (tip) of the shoot contains the apical meristem within the apical bud.
-
- A plant laid on its side in the dark will send shoots upward when given enough time.
- Gravitropism ensures that roots grow into the soil and that shoots grow toward sunlight.
- Amyloplasts are found in shoots and in specialized cells of the root cap.
- IAA has the opposite effect in shoots, where a higher concentration at the lower side of the shoot stimulates cell expansion and causes the shoot to grow up.
- Time-lapse of a pea plant growing from seed, showing both the shoot and root system.
-
- By developing a shoot and growing taller, individual plants captured more light.
- Shoots and roots of plants increase in length through rapid cell division in a tissue called the apical meristem, which is a small zone of cells found at the shoot tip or root tip .
- Elongation of the shoots and roots allows a plant to access additional space and resources: light, in the case of the shoot, and water and minerals, in the case of roots.
- The vascular system contains xylem and phloem tissues.
- A root system evolved to take up water and minerals from the soil, while anchoring the increasingly taller shoot in the soil.
-
- In addition, while most roots are underground, some plants have adventitious roots, which emerge above the ground from the shoot.
- There are mainly two types of root systems .
- Dandelions are a good example; their tap roots usually break off when trying to pull these weeds; they can regrow another shoot from the remaining root.
- A tap root system penetrates deep into the soil.
- (a) Tap root systems have a main root that grows down, while (b) fibrous root systems consist of many small roots.
-
- There are two main types of root systems .
- Dicots have a tap root system, while monocots have a fibrous root system, which is also known as an adventitious root system.
- Dandelions are a common example; their tap roots usually break off when these weeds are pulled from the ground; they can regrow another shoot from the remaining root.
- A tap root system penetrates deep into the soil.
- (a) Tap root systems have a main root that grows down, while (b) fibrous root systems consist of many small roots.

- In a closed system, angular momentum is conserved in a similar fashion as linear momentum.
- During a collision of objects in a closed system, momentum is always conserved.
- So rotating objects that collide in a closed system conserve not only linear momentum p in all directions, but also angular momentum L in all directions.
- For example, take the case of an archer who decides to shoot an arrow of mass m1 at a stationary cylinder of mass m2 and radius r, lying on its side.
- After the collision, the arrow sticks to the rolling cylinder and the system has a net angular momentum equal to the original angular momentum of the arrow before the collision.

- BLM regularly organizes protests around the deaths of black people in killings by law enforcement officers, as well as broader issues of racial profiling, police brutality, and racial inequality in the United States criminal justice system.
- Black Lives Matter became nationally recognized for its street demonstrations following the 2014 police shooting deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and Eric Garner in New York City.
- The disputed circumstances of the shooting of the unarmed man sparked existing tensions in the predominantly black city, where protests and civil unrest erupted.
- As the details of the original shooting emerged, police established curfews and deployed riot squads to maintain order.
- In August of 2014, BLM members organized their first in-person national protest in the form of a "Black Lives Matter Freedom Ride" to Ferguson, Missouri after the shooting of Michael Brown.
-
- As it grows downward to form the tap root, lateral roots branch off to all sides, producing the typical dicot tap root system.
- Next, the primary shoot emerges, protected by the coleoptile: the covering of the shoot tip.
- This produces the fibrous root system of the monocot.
- As this monocot grass seed germinates, the primary root, or radicle, emerges first, followed by the primary shoot, or coleoptile, and the adventitious roots.

- Lyme disease can affect multiple body systems and produce a range of symptoms, though not all patients with Lyme disease will have all symptoms, and many of the symptoms are not specific to Lyme disease.
- Left untreated, Borrelia bacteria begins to spread through the bloodstream within days to weeks after the onset of local infection, progressing symptoms to the joints, heart, and central nervous system.
- Radiculoneuritis causes shooting pains that may interfere with sleep, as well as abnormal skin sensations.
- Patients may develop Lyme arthritis, usually affecting the knees; nerve pain radiating out of the spine (Bannwarth syndrome); and shooting pains, numbness, and tingling in the hands or feet.
