PLANT TISSUES Flashcards
Collection of similar cells performing an organized function for the plant
Plant tissues
Specialized for a unique purpose and can be combined with other tissues to create organ such as leaves flowers stems and roots
Plant tissues
Plant tissues is divided into two namely
Meristematic tissue
Permanent tissue
Plant tissues under meristematic tissue
Apical meristem
Lateral meristem
Intercalary meristem
Plant tissues under permanent tissue
Dermal
Ground
Vascular
It is for the length
Apical meristem
It is for the diameter or width
Lateral meristem
It is for the rapid growth of young stem
Intercalary meristem
It is for protection gas control and water absorption
Dermal
It is different function based on cell type
Ground
Transport water and nutrients
Vascular
Types of dermal tissues
Epidermal
Stomata or guard cells
Trichomes
Type of dermal tissue for the protection and absorption of water and minerals
Epidermal
Type of dermal tissue for gas exchange
Stomata or guard d cells
Type of dermal tissue for reduced transpiration
Trichomes
Types of ground tissues
Parenchyma
Collenchyma
Sclerenchyma
A type of ground tissue that aids in photosynthesis and storage in the roots
Parenchyma
Type of ground tissue for active shoot support
Collenchyma
Type of ground tissue for deceased shoot support
Sclerenchyma
Types of simple permanent tissues
Epidermis
Parenchyma
Collenchyma
Sclerenchyma
Cork
Secretory tissues
This is the outermost layer of cells found in all young plant organs
Epidermis
These are the most abundant of all the cell types found in almost all major parts of higher plants
Parenchyma
Are elongated cells with irregularly thick cell walls that provide support and structure
Collenchyma
Characterized by cells that are thick walled cells
Sclerenchyma
