GENBIO - Plant Tissue Flashcards
TWO TYPES OF PLANT TISSUE
- Meristematic Tissue
- Permanent Tissue
Cells are found in meristems, which are plant regions of continuous cell division and growth.
Meristematic Tissue
Tissue found in the growing region of a plant
Meristematic Tissue
KINDS OF MERISTEMATIC TISSUE
- Apical Meristem
- Lateral Meristem
- Intercalary Meristem
Found in the root and shoot tips that increases the length.
Apical Meristem
They enable the plant to extend upwards and downwards.
Apical Meristem
They are present laterally in the non- flowering plants.
Lateral Meristems
Due to their division the root and stem grow in thickness or girth.
Lateral Meristems
Lateral Meristems are found in ____________.
- Vascular cambium
- Cork cambium
These tissues are found in between permanent tissue.
Intercalary Meristem
They are found in
monocotyledonous stem and leaf sheath.
Intercalary Meristem
They are at the bases of leaf blades and at nodes.
Intercalary Meristem
Intercalary Meristem enables the
Monocot leaf blade to
increase in length from
the leaf base
Tissues formed from meristematic tissue slowly mature, have lost the ability of division, and get differentiated.
Permanent Tissue
Three Types of Permanent Tissue
- Simple tissue
- Complex tissue
- Special tissue
Found in the soft part of a leaf flower.
Simple Tissue
Made up of a single cell type
