tissues and cell types Flashcards
plant tissue systems
- dermal tissue system
- vascular
- ground
primary tissues originate from
primary meristems
primary/apical meristems
protoderm, procambium and ground meristem
-found in all parts of plant
simple tissues
single cell type
comple tissues
composed of 2 or more types of cells
ground tissues system cell types
parenchyma, collenchyma,
sclerenchyma
sclerenchyma types
sclernchyma fibres and sclereids
dermal tissue system
guard cells, trichomes
vascular tissue system
xylem tissue and phloem
xylem
vessel elements
tracheids

sieve tube members companion cells sieve cells albuminous/strasburger cells parenchyma sclerenchyma
Dermal tissue system
Outermost covering of the plant body Called epidermis in plants with no 2o
development
1 to many layers thick
Most cells are modified parenchyma that fit tightly together
Their shape is variable
Often have a cuticle
Cuticle composed of cutin and wax
Coats the outer surface of cells
Retards water loss and protective (antiherbivory, UV damage)
Secreted by the cells themselves
