Plant cell organisation Flashcards
what are plants made of and how do they work
organs that work together to make organ systems to carry out tasks so that the plant survives
Name and describe 5 tissues that make up organs
epidermal tissue - covers whole plant
palisade mesophyll - photosynthesis happens
spongy mesophyll - allow gases to diffuse in and out
phloem and xylem - transport water, mineral ions and food
meristem tissue - growing tips or shoots and roots
how does the structure of tissues relate to their funstion
epd - covered in waxy cuticle - reduces water loss
upper epd - transparent for light to pass through
palisade - lots of chloroplasts get a lot of light
phloem and xylem - network of vascular bundles - deliver water and other nutrients
tissues - efficient for gas exchange
