Plant Tissues Flashcards
3 (4) major organs
Root
Stem
Leaves
Flowers (in angiosperms)
2 major organs based on function
Vegetative
Reproductive
2 systems
Roots
Shoot
Derived from Apical meristem
Made of Primary tissues
Herbaceous part of plant
Only plant body of herbs
Primary Plant Body
Derived from lateral meristems
Made of secondary tissues
Constitutes wood and bark of plant
Woody plants have primary tissues that differentiate into secondary tissues
Secondary Plant Body
Thin and flexible primary cell walls
most common type of plant cell
constitutes to all soft parts of herbaceous parts of plant
Parenchyma
Type of parenchyma:
Tightly packed parenchyma cells
pith parenchyma
Type of parenchyma:
presence of numeral starch grains
cortical parenchyma
Type of parenchyma:
has chloroplasts that are red stained
chlorenchyma
Type of parenchyma:
parenchyma Used for storage
storage parenchyma
Type of parenchyma:
Help in gas exchange between shoot and root found in aquatic plants
Arenchyma
contain wax and oil that cover epidermis
made of cutin,cutan and epiticular wax
aerial portions of plant; none in roots
Epidermal Parenchyma: Cuticular Membrane
Functions:
prevent dessication
inhibit pathogen invasion
blocks certain wavelengths of UV Radiation
Lack chlorophyl; make up majority of epidermis
tightly packed
found in leaf and stem surfaces
Epidermal Parenchyma: Pavement Cells
Under epidermis
Epidermal Parenchyma: Hypodermis
Has guard cells with stomata that change shape when swollen
has chloroplast
sensitive to light, humidity, time of day, and plant hormone ABA
Epidermal Parenchyma: Stomatal Pore complex
Location of stomata in plant
Epistomatic; adaxial
Hypostomatic; abaxial
Amphistomatic; both
Single subsidiary cell surrounds guard cell
Floating guard cells
2 subsidiary cells border along parallel axes of guard cells
Paracytic
2 subsidiary cells border right angle to axes of guard cells
Diacytic
3 subsidiary cells adjoin the guard cells
triacytic
3 subsidiary cells adjoin but one is smaller than the other 2
anisocytic
4 subsidiary cells adjoin the guard cells
tetracytic
Subsidiary cells are indistinct from pavement cells
anomocytic
dumbbell shaped subsidiary cells parallel in paracytic fashion found in grass family
Graminaceous
