Tissue transporting water, minerals, and sugars throughout the plants
Back
Types of xylem
Front
-Vessel elements- move water more efficiently
-Tracheid Cells
Back
3 types of tissues of a plant
Front
Ground, Vascular, Dermis
Back
Collenchyma Cell
Front
-live; provide flexibility and mechanical support
Back
Epidermis
Front
Type of Dermal Tissue that contains guard cells that control the opening/losing of stoma
Through openings we exchange gases, and close the openings to prevent water loss
Back
Stomata
Front
controlled by guard cells
Back
Vascular Cylinder
Front
- collection of cells called pericyle; hold vascular tissue
Back
Dermal Tissue
Front
Provides an outer covering for plants
Back
Taproots
Front
dicots
1) Eg. dandelion
Back
Root Hairs
Front
create large surface area to absorb water and minerals
Back
xylem
Front
Vascular Tissue-Passageway for water and mineral from soil; most are dead
Back
3 types of cells of Ground Tissue
Front
Collenchyma-
Parenchyma
Sclerenchyma
Back
Two types of root hairs
Front
1. Taproot
2. Fibrous
Back
Sclerenchyma Cells
Front
-protect seeds and support plant
Back
Fribrous
Front
monocots
Eg. Corn, grasses
Back
Ground Tissue
Front
Tissue that is Most of the body of plants; found between dermal and vascular systems
Back
Phloem
Front
Vascular Tissue- moves sugars
Back
Root Structure
Front
i. Epidermis
ii. Cortex
1) Endodermis-
iii. Vascular Cylinder
Back
Epidermis
Front
gives rise to root hairs
Back
Cortex
Front
starch storage receptacle
Back
Parenchyma Cell
Front
-found in leaves (mesophyll cells) plays role in storage and secretion
Back
Regions of Growth
Front
1) Zone of cell division
2) Zone of elongation
3) Zone of maturation
Back
Endodermis
Front
innermost layer of cortex; cylinder of cells create an obstacle called the casparian strip which block water from passing ( plants control flow of water)
Back
Palisade mesophyll
Front
most photosynthesis spongy mesophyll provide co2
Back
Root Growth
Front
i. Meristemic: Active dividing cells of apical meristem
ii. Primary plant growth increase in length
iii. Secondary plant growth- increase of the width
iv. Regions of Growth
