Plant and Animal Tissues Flashcards
a group of cells that work together to function
Tissue
How many plant TISSUE SYSTEMS are there?
Three(3)
What are the Three TISSUE SYSTEMS of a plant?
- Dermal Tissue System
- Vascular Tissue System
- Ground Tissue System
these are tissue systems that form the outer protective layer of the plant, forms the first line of defense agains pathogens
Dermal Tissue System
this tissue system transports the materials between the roots and shoot systems of the plant
Vascular Tissue System
this tissue systems provides support to the plant and funtions in storage and metabolism
ground tissue system
Plant tissues are classified based on:__________
their ability to generate new cells
Major types of classification based on the ability to generate new cells:
- Meristematic
- Permanent tissues
What are Meristematic Tissues?
they are similar living tissues that are actively dividing that form other types of plant tissues
What are the two types of meristematic tissues?
a. Apical Meristem
b. Lateral Meristem
What are the functions of the apical and lateral meristem?
apical meristem - found on growing plant tips; makes plants grow taller
lateral meristem - found on lengths of roots and stems; makes plants grow thicker a.k.a VASCULAR CAMBIUM and CORK CAMBIUM
What are Permanent Tissues?
these are non-dividing tissues composed of tissues that have stopped growing
The Permanent tissues come in two types. What are these types?
a. Simple tissues
b. Complex tissues
What are the functions of the simple and complex tissues?
Simple tissues - composed of only one type of cell
Complex tissues - composed of more than one type of cell that function together as one unit.
Simple tissues come in 3 types. Enumerate.
i. Parenchyma
ii. Collenchyma
iii. Sclerenchyma
What is the function of the Parenchyma?
Parenchyma -
living tissues that are thin-walled, with cytoplasm. Performs most of the metabolic functions; provides support; stores various organic products
