Biology: Plants Flashcards
What are the major functions of meristematic tissue?
- unspecialized tissue capable of dividing by mitosis
- found in several locations in the the plant
- responsible for growing new parts of the plant
What type of plant tissue is unspecialized tissue capable of dividing by mitosis?
Meristematic Tissue
What type of plant tissue is found in several locations in the plant?
Meristematic Tissue
What type of plant tissue is responsible for growing new parts of the plant?
Meristematic Tissue
What are the major functions of epidermal tissue?
- forms the protective outer covering
- allows for the exchange of materials and gases into and out of the plant
What type of plant tissue forms the protective outer covering?
Epidermal Tissue
What type of plant tissue allows the exchange of materials and gases into and out of the plant?
Epidermal Tissue
What are the major functions of ground tissue?
- provides strength and suport in the stem
- stores food and water in the roots
- where photosynthesis occurs in the leaves
What type of plant tissue provides strength and support in the stem?
Ground Tissue
What type of plant tissue stores food and water in the roots?
Ground Tissue
What type of plant tissue is where photosynthesis occurs in the leaves?
Ground Tissue
What are the major functions of vascular tissue?
- moves substances from the roots to the leaves
- transports sugars from the leaves to other parts of the plant
What type of plant tissue moves substances from the root to the leaves?
Vascular Tissue (Xylem)
What type of plant tissue transports sugars from the leaves to other parts of the plant?
Vascular Tissue (Pholem)
Where does photosynthsis occur in a plant?
In ground tissue in the leaves.
What important process occurs in the leaves of a plant?
Photosynthesis
What is xylem?
Xylem is the type of vascular tissue that moves water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.
What is phloem?
Phloem is the type of vascular tissue that transports sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
