Gen Bio Quiz 2 (Plant Tissues) Flashcards
A group of cells of the same type or of the mixed type, having a common origin and performing an identical function.
Plant tissues
have cells which are continuously dividing
Meristematic Tissue
What are the 3 types of meristematic tissue based on origin?
- Promeristem
- Primary meristem
- Secondary meristem
What are the 3 types of meristematic tissue based on the location?
- Apical meristem
- Intercalary meristem
- Lateral meristem
What are the 3 types of meristematic tissue based on the function?
- Protoderm
- Procambium
- Ground meristem
The youngest stage of the growing organ that gives rise to primary meristem
Promeristem
Embryonic tissues that gives rise epidermis, the cortex, the leaves, and the pith.
Primary Meristem
It develops later from non-meristematic tissues at a certain stage of development of an organ of a plant.
Secondary Meristem
The area of actively dividing cells that locates at the tips of the roots and the shoots.
Apical Meristem
The area of actively dividing cells that locates at the internodes.
Intercalary Meristem
The area of actively dividing cells that locates at the lateral side of the stem and the root.
Lateral Meristem
It aids increase of height of the plant by facilitating the growth of the shoot and the root
Apical Meristem
It contributes to the increase in height, with the growth of the internodes.
Intercalary Meristem
It increases the thickness of the plant by increasing the diameter of the plant
Lateral Meristem
The outermost plant tissue and forms the epidermis
Protoderm
It is located around the outside of the stem and protects the plants from any mechanical shocks.
Protoderm
innermost tissue and gives rise to the xylem and phloem
Procambium
cells are large with thick walls and it gives rise to ground tissue
