Plant cell organisation Flashcards
What do plant organs MAKE
Organ systems
What are plant organs MADE UP OF
tissues
What tissue covers the whole plant
epidermal tissues
what part of the leaf controls most of the photosynthesis
Palisade mesophyll tissue
What part of the leaf contains big air spaces to allow gases to diffuse in and out
spongy mesophyll tissue
What do phloem and xylem do?
phloem transports the food around the plant. Xylem transports the water and mineral ions around the plant
What is an example of a differentiated cell in a plant?
meristem
How is the epidermal tissue adapted for its function?
They are covered by a waxy cuticle which helps reduce water loss
How is the upper epidermis adapted for its function
It is transparent so light can pass through it
How is the palisade layer adapted for its function
Has lots of chloroplasts so it can get the most light
