LESSON 2 Flashcards
composed of outer covering of the plant
Dermal Tissue system
- Are external skin layer of the plant which extend all over the entire surface of body.
- Consisting single layer flattened cells
Epidermis
These are the flattened cells that can be seen in epidermis
Straight Walled
Wavey Walled
Beaded Walled
Functions of Epidermis
- Protection of internal tissue from mechanical injuries
- Prevention of excessive evaporation of water
- Protects them from excessive radiation of heat from the sun
- It acts as store house of water.
- It has minor function in photosyntheis and secretion
Structures found in Epidermis layer
Stomata
Trichomes
Functions of stomata
they perform gaseous exchange and transpiration
Types of Stomata arrangement
- Diacytic (caryophylaceous)
- Anisocytic (cruciferous)
- Anomocytic (irregular)
5.Paracytic (parallel) - Actinocytic (radiated)
accompanied by 2 subsidiary cells
Diacytic
there is an equal cells accompanied by 3 subsidiary cells.
Anisocytic
stoma is surrounded by varying number of subsidiary cells.
Anomocytic
stoma is surrounded by 2 subsidiary cells the long access of which are parallel to that of the stoma.
Paracytic
the stoma is surrounded by circles of radiating cells.
Actinocytic
2 types of dermal tissue system
Epidermis
Periderm
they are manute openings usually found in epidermis of the leaves, flowers and fruits of the plants.
Stomata
they are elongated out growth of one or more epidermal cells found on the leaves sometimes on the stems for protection.
