plant tissue functions Flashcards
What’s is the function of the Epidermal tissue?
This covers the hole plant with a waxy cuticle, to help reduce water loss.
What’s is the function of the Palisade mesophyll tissue?
This is the part of the leafy where most photosynthesis takes place.
What’s is the function of the Spongy mesophyll tissue?
This is the part of the leaf which contains big air space to allow gasses to diffuse in and out the of the cell.
What’s is the function of the xylem and phloem?
Xylem transports water and mineral ions to the plant, Phloem transports food substances around the plant whilst also storing cell sap (both are found throughout the roots, stem and leaves)
What’s is the function of the Meristem tissue?
This is found at the growing tips of the shoots and roots and is able to differentiate (change) into lots of different types of plant cells, which allows the plant to grow.
