Lesson 1: Plant Tissues Flashcards
Types of Plant Tissues
Dermal Tissue System, Vascular Tissue System, Ground Tissue System
It is a single layer of cells that protects plant from pathogens and injury
epidermis
waxy coat found in the leaves and stems, minimizes dehydration
cuticle
where does photosynthesis occur?
chloroplast
The tissue system found in the outermost layer of the plant
Dermal Tissue System
A tissue system that transports materials between roots and shoot systems
Vascular Tissue System
it moves water and minerals from the roots
xylem
it moves sugar and nutrients from the site of the photosynthesis
phloem
it is the tissues found in the vascular system
pith
tissues found outside in the vascular system
cortex
it regulates the movement of molecules from the cortex to the vascular tissues
endodermis
it is the tissues that are neither dermal nor vascular
Ground Tissue System
