Primary Cells and Tissues Flashcards
Ground tissue important for photosynthesis, food storage, and wound healing
Parenchyma
Photosynthetic ground tissue
Chlorenchyma
Tissues that aren’t dermal or vascular, three types
Ground tissue
Ground tissue that helps plants float
Aerenchyma
Interior of the leaf, made up of ground tissue
Mesophyll
Ground tissue, living at maturity, provides support for rapidly growing parts of the plant
Collenchyma
Collenchyma
Ground tissue, living at maturity, provides support for rapidly growing parts of the plant
Ground tissue that’s dead at maturity, thick and rigid cell wall, main structural support of plants
Sclerenchyma
Long and slender sub-type of ground tissue that supports vascular tissues
Fibers
Fibers
Long and slender sub-type of ground tissue that supports vascular tissues
Short, fat, variably shaped sub-type of ground tissue, occurring in small groups
Sclerids
Sclerids
Short, fat, variably shaped sub-type of ground tissue, occurring in small groups
Plant tissue that protects and absorbs nutrients/water
Dermal tissue
Fatty substance that protects epidermis
Cutin
Wax on top of cuticle, found on plants in very dry environments
Epicuticular wax
Dermal tissue, generally 1 cell thick, generally no chloroplasts
Epidermal tissue
