2. Monocots vs. dicots (Fig. 35.3)

3. Morphology of a flowering plant (Fig. 35.4)

4. Primary growth of a root (Fig. 35.15)

5. Plant tissues Tissue Type Structure Function parenchyma collenchyma
Thin primary cell walls, protoplast with large central vacuole.
Least specialized; syn-thesize and store organic molecules.
collenchyma
Unevenly thickened primary cell walls, grouped in strands or cylinders
Help support growing parts of young plants
sclerenchyma
Secondary cell walls made rigid with lignin; often dead at maturity.
Support and protect non-growing regions of plant
xylem
Secondary cell walls, end walls perforated; dead at maturity.
Conduct water upward and help support plant.
phloem
Protoplasts lack nucleus, ribosomes, vacuole; living at maturity.
Transport organic molecules throughout plant.

6. Plant tissue systems (Fig. 35.12)
