plant tissues and plant growth Flashcards
group of cells performing a similar function
tissues
also known as the embryonic tissues
meristematic tissues
tissues which are responsible for the production of more cells
meristematic tissues
meristematic cells are found at, or near, the tips of the root, and shoots, which increases in the length as it produces new cells.
apical
produce tissues that increase in the girth of roots and stems
lateral
develop at intervals where the tissues add to the length of the stem
intercalary
what kind of growth does apical and intercalary do?
primary growth
an area or cell division located at the tip of a stem of a root which produces primary tissues
apical meristems
parts of apical meristem
protoderm
ground meristem
procambium
found in the outermost layer of the cell and it is the primary meristem in the vascular plants where the epidermis is derives.
protoderm
basic primary tissue of a growingtip of a stem or root
ground meristem
forms the cambium and the primary vascular tissues
procambium
concerned with providing the primary tissues of the vascualr system
procambium
produces tissues that increase the girth of roots and stems of gymnosperms and woody eudicots/
lateral meristems
