Major groups of plant tissue (3)
|
Ground, Dermal, Vascular
|
|
Three kinds of ground tissue
|
Parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma
|
|
Most common ground tissue, thin walls and do storage, photosyn, and secretion
|
Parenchyma
|
|
Thick but flexible walls, serve mechanical support functions
|
Collenchyma
|
|
Thicker walls than collenchyma, also provide mechanical support functions
|
Sclerenchyma
|
|
Consists of epidermis cells that cover the outside of plant parts
|
Dermal tissue
|
|
Dermal tissue guard cells that surround this
|
Stomata
|
|
The epidermal cells secret this waxy protective substance
|
Cuticle
|
|
Major kinds of tissues in Vascular tissue
|
Xylem + Phloem
|
|
Two types of xylem cells
|
Tracheids and Vessel members
|
|
Functions in the conduction of sugars
|
Phloem
|
|
Make up phloem
|
Sieve-tube members
|
|
Top portion of the embryo, becomes shoot tip
|
Epicotyl
|
|
Seeds consist of these 3 things
|
Embryo, seed coat, storage material (like endosperm or cotyledons)
|
|
Young leaves attached to epicotl
|
Plumule
|
|
Becomes the young shoot
|
Hypocotyl
|
|
Develops into the root
|
Radicle
|
|
Sheath that protects the epicotyl

|
Where are apical meristems?
|
Tips of roots and shoots
|
|
Protects the apical meristem behind it
|
Root tip (root cap)
|
|
The dividing cells of the apical meristem for the zone of _____ _____
|
Cell division
|
|
Newly formed cells absorb water and elongate, forming the next region, the zone of _____
|
Elongation
|
|
This zone is responsible for our perception of growth
|
Zone of elongation
|
|
Meristematic growth is known as _____ growth
|
Primary
|
|
What growth do conifers and woody dicots undergo
|
Secondary growth
|
|
The two lateral meristems where secondary growth occurs
|
Vascular cambium and the cork cambium
|
|
The cork cambium gives rise to the _____
|
Periderm
|
|
Protective material that lines the outside of woody plants
|
Periderm
|
|
Lines the outer surface of the root
|
Epidermis
|
|
In the zone of maturation, epidermal cells produce _____ _____
|
Root hairs
|
|
Makes up the bulk of the root
|
Cortex
|
|
Ring of tightly packed cells at the innermost portion of the cortex
|
Endodermis
|
|
This band of fatty material impregnates the endodermal cell walls where they make contact with adjacent endodermal cell walls
|
Suberin
|
|
Creates a water impenetrable barrier between the cells
|
Casparian strip
|
|
Makes up the tissues inside the endodermis

|
|
Consists of parenchyma cells equipped with numerous chloroplasts and large surface areas, specializations for photosynthesis
|
Palisade mesophyll
