Plant Tissues Flashcards
This is the outer protective covering of a plant, it forms the first line of defense against damage and pathogens.
Dermal tissue system.
Carries out the transport of materials between the root and shoot system of a plant.
Vascular tissue system.
Provides support to the plant and functions in storage and metabolism
Ground tissue system.
What are functions of the Meristematic tissues?
Actively divides cells to form other types of plant cells.
What are the two types of Meristematic tissues?
Apical and lateral meristems.
Mix and Match: Which are the right pairs?
A. Apical Meristem: Secondary Growth. Lateral Meristem: Primary Growth
B. Apical Meristem: Primary Growth. Lateral Meristem: Secondary Growth
B.
Where is the apical meristem found?
Growing tips of plants & in buds.
What is another term for the growth of plants in height?
Primary growth.
Where is the lateral meristem found?
Along the length of roots and stems.
What is another term for the growth of plants in width?
Secondary growth.
Composed of tissue that has stopped growing, it may be living or dead.
Permanent tissue.
What are the two types of permanent tissue?
Simple and complex.
True or False: Simple tissues are composed of different types of cells
False. They are only composed of one type of cells.
Composed of more than one type of cells that group together to perform a function.
Complex tissue.
What are the three types of simple tissues?
Parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
Is a living tissue with thin-walled cells & sufficient cytoplasm.
Parenchyma
What function does the parenchyma serve?
Performs most metabolic functions and synthesizes and stores various organic products.
Has elongated cells; thick primary walls.
Collenchyma.
What function does the collenchyma serve?
Provides support to the young parts of the plant shoot and provides flexible support.
Has a thick secondary cell wall and with lignin.
Sclerenchyma
What is lignin?
Carbohydrate that provides structure and support for plant life.
What function does the sclerenchyma serve?
Provides support and protects inner cells from damage.
What are the two types of complex tissue?
Xylem and phloem.
This transports water & minerals from root to leaves.
Xylem
T/F: Xylem are made up of alive cells with the same structures.
False. Xylem are mostly made up of dead cells with different structures.
This transports food from leaves to different parts of plants.
Phloem.
