Study of internal structure of plant


Anatomy

Internal structures also show ___________ to diverse environments.

Adaptations

Plants have __1__as the basic unit, cells are organised into ___2___ and in turn the tissuesare organised into ____3____.

1.Cells


2.Tissues.


3.Organs

A _______ is a group of cells having a common origin and usually performinga common function.

Tissues

Growth in plants is largely restricted to specialised regions of active cell division called _________.

Meristem

(Gk. meristos: divided)

Tissuesare classified into two main groups, namely,____1____ and ____2____tissues based on whether the cells being formed are capable of ___3___or not.

1.Meristamatic


2.Permanent


3.Dividing

Tissuesare classified into two main groups, namely,____1____ and ____2____tissues based on whether the cells being formed are capable of ___3___or not.

1.Meristamatic


2.Permanent


3.Dividing

During theformation of leaves and elongation of stem, some cells ‘left behind’ fromshoot apical meristem, constitute the ___________.

Axillary Bud

These buds are present in the axil of the leaves and capable of forming a branch or flower.

Themeristem which occurs between mature tissues is known as ___________meristem.

Intercalary

Intercalary meristems occur in __1__ and regenerate parts removed by the____2_____

1.grasses


2. Grazing herbivores

Both apical meristems and intercalary meristems are_________ meristems because they appear early in life of a plant andcontribute to the formation of the primary plant body.

Primary

The meristem that occurs in the mature regions of roots and shoots ofmany plants, particularly those that produce woody axis and appearlater than primary meristem is called the _________ or _________ meristem

Secondary or lateral

Give other two other names of secondary meristems

1. Lateral meristems


2.Cylindrical meristems

___1___ ,___2____ and ___3____ are examples of lateralmeristems

1.Fascicular vascular cambium


2.interfascicular cambium


3.cork-cambium

Following divisions of cells in both primary and as well as secondary meristems, the newly formed cells become ___1___ and ____2____specialised and lose the ability to divide


Such cells are called Permanent/ mature cells.

1.Structurally


2.Functionally

During theformation of the primary plant body, specific regions of the apical meristemproduce __1__, __2__and __3__.

1.Dermal tissues


2.Ground tissues


3.Vascular tissues

Permanent tissues having all cellssimilar in structure and function are called ______.

simpletissues

_________ forms the majorcomponent within organs.


Parenchyma

Permanent tissues having many differenttypes of cells are called ____.

complex tissues

Shapes of parenchyma

1.Isodiametric


2.Spherical


3.Oval


4.Round


5.Polygonal


6.Elongated

SPORE

Characteristics of parenchyma

1.Their walls are thin and madeup of cellulose.


2.They may either be closely packedor have small intercellular spaces.


3.Theparenchyma performs various functions likephotosynthesis, storage, secretion.

The ___1___ occurs in layers below theepidermis in most of the dicotyledonous plants.

collenchyma

Characteristics of collenchyma

1.It isfound either as a homogeneous layer or in patches.


2.It consists of cells which are much thickened at thecorners due to a deposition of cellulose,hemicellulose and pectin.


3.These cells assimilate foodwhen they contain chloroplasts. Intercellular spacesare absent.


4.They provide mechanical support to thegrowing parts of the plant such as young stem andpetiole of a leaf.

Shapes of collenchyma

1.Spherical


2.Oval


3.Polygonal

SOP

_________ consists of long, narrow cellswith thick and lignified cell walls having a few ornumerous pits.

Sclerenchyma

Sclerenchyma are usually dead and without ______________.

protoplasts

On the basis of variation in form,structure, origin and development, sclerenchymamay be either ______ or ______.
fibres

sclereids

Sclerenchyma provides _______ to organs.
