Plant Tissues Flashcards
- Derived from shoot and root apical
- primary tissues
Primary Plant Body (Herbaceous Body)
- Plant that never becomes woody
- lives >1yr
Herb
- derived from meristems other than apical meristems
- secondary tissues (wood & bark)
Secondary plant body (woody body)
Has primary tissues at its root and tips
Secondary tissues arise inside the primary tissues
Woody plant
Group of cells that perform specific function
Tissues
Classification based on stage of development
Embryonic / meristematic
Permanent
Actively dividing development
Meristematic
Classification based on composition
Simple (one type)
Complex (diss. Types)
Meristematic classification based on: INITIATING CELLS (origin)
Primary meristem
Secondary mersitem
Promeristem (primordial meristem)
Meristematic classification based on: position in the plant body (location)
Apical (length)
Intercalary (elongation)
Lateral (thickness)
Meristematic classification based on: FUNCTION
Protoderm (dermatogen) - epidermis/dermal tissue system
Procambium (plerome) - primary vascular tissue
Fundamental/ground (periblem) - ground tissue
No longer dividing
Stable cells
Permanent Tissues
Types of permanent tissues
Simple permanent tissues
Complex permanent tissue
Classified based on the nature of the cell wall
One type of cells
Dermal/protective/ground/fundamental
Simple Permanent tissue
Vascular
Diff kinds of calls but similar function
Complex permanent tissue
Mass of parenchyma cells
Soft parts of the plant
Parenchyma Tissue
Thin walls / Large Vacuole
Alive at maturity
Subtypes specialized for tasks
Most common
Parenchyma cells
Parenchyma cell: involved in photosynthesis
Chlorenchyma cells
