Plant Tissues-Aimee Valensky

Question 1

Meristematic tissue

Answer 1

This tissue is actively dividing tissue in which new cells are continually formed by mitosis

Question 2

Permanent tissue

Answer 2

This tissue is tissue that is already differentiated to perform a specific function

Question 3

What are the Two types of meristem?

Answer 3

Apical and Lateral

Question 4

What are the Types of permanent tissue?

Answer 4

Epidemis, Parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma and vascular tissue.

Question 5

What are the two types of vascular tissue?

Answer 5

Xylem and phloem

Question 6

Apical meristem?

Answer 6

The apical meristem consists of groups of cells that are found near the tips of roots and stems and are responsible for growth in length by mitosis

Question 7

Lateral meristem?

Answer 7

Lateral meristem is found between the xylem and the phloem in the vascular bundles of dicotyledonous plants and is known as cambium

Question 8

What is the basic structure of an apical meristem?

Answer 8

• The cells are relatively small
• The cell walls are thin
• Vacuoles are absent
• The cells are cube-shaped
• The cells nuclei are large and prominent
• There are no intercellular spaces

Question 9

Functions of the Apical meristem?

Answer 9

New cells that form through mitosis result in the primary growth (growth in length) of the plant

Question 10

What is the basic structure of an Lateral meristem?

Answer 10

• Its cells are similar to those of the apical meristem, except that the cells are flatter and slightly elongated
