PLANT CELLS and TISSUES
PLANT CELLS
PLANT TISSUES CELLS that work with other cells for a COMMON FUNCTION form TISSUES
MERISTEMATIC TISSUES APICAL – growth in length
MERISTEMATIC TISSUES LATERAL – growth in width or girth
MERISTEMATIC TISSUES INTERCALARY – growth from the base of nodes
MERISTEMATIC TISSUES Undifferentiated cells undergoing ACTIVE GROWTH
PERMANENT TISSUES SIMPLE – contain only one type of cell Collenchyma Parenchyma Collenchyma Sclerenchyma
PERMANENT TISSUES - Simple Parenchyma Collenchyma Sclerenchyma Fibers Sclereids
PERMANENT TISSUES COMPLEX – two or more different types of cells VASCULAR tissues XYLEM – conducts WATER PHLOEM – conducts FOOD DERMAL tissues EPIDERMIS – single cell layer CORK & CORK CAMBIUM Meristem and outer bark of woody plants
PERMANENT TISSUES - Complex VASCULAR tissues PHLOEM – conducts FOOD Sieve tubes Companion cells XYLEM – conducts WATER Vessels Tracheids
PERMANENT TISSUES - Complex DERMAL tissues EPIDERMIS Cuticle Guard cells and stomata Trichomes
PERMANENT TISSUES - Complex DERMAL tissues CORK & CORK CAMBIUM Meristem and outer bark of woody plants
