Q

Meristematic cells

A

Differentiation → primary body (permanent tissues)

Tissues of the primary body → cells become meristematic again dedifferentiation → secondary meristems (e.g.: cutting the stem)

Secondary meristems → redifferentiation → secondary body (vascular tissue, repair wounds)

Q

Meristems

A

Merizein (in greek) = to divide

Dividing, undifferentiated cells with isodiametric (equal in all directions) or fusiform shape

Thin cell wall, large plasma content and high metabolic activity

Initial cells (stem cells) → meristems → permanent tissues (primary body)

Dedifferentiation of permanent tissues can also produce meristems

Q

Secondary dermal tissues

A

Secondary growth increase girth (thickness) → epidermis ruptures

A layer of cork cell produced of the cortex below the epidermis

Later cork layers multiplied (phellem) as a result of cell devision and produce the secondary dermal tissue (=periderm)

Accumulation of secondary metabolites in bark (tannic acid, glycosides)

Q

Storage parenchyma

A

28
Q

Water storage parenchyma

A

Tissues of succulent plants living in arid habitaits

Cells have thin wall, large vacuoles, and water is absorbed in the form of mucilage

29
Q

Aerenchyma

A

Parenchyma of water plants and species living in moist habitats

Enlarged intercellular cavities

Importance for the oxygen supply and gas exchange

Low nutrient value

30
Q

Secretory tissues

A

Intra- and extracellular secretion

Endogeneous and exogenous secretion

Thin walled cells with numerous nuclei, and many organelles

Excretion of secondary metabolites → favours pollinators, or a defence mechanism

31
Q

Intracellular secretion

A

Metabolites are secreted into vacuoles or cell wall

32
Q

Extracellular secretion

A

A group of cells secrete metabolites into the intercellular space

33
Q

Endogeneous secretion

A
