Plant Tissues

Front 1

SCLERENCHYMA

Back 1

has both a primary wall and a thick secondary wall that is almost always lignified

Front 2

PARENCHYMA

Back 2

Thin primary walls. Typically alive at maturity. Has many functions

Front 3

COLLENCHYMA

Back 3

Unevenly thickened primary walls. Typically alive at maturity.

PROVIDES PLASTIC SUPPORT

Front 4

Sclerenchyma

Back 4

Plant tissue that is typically dead at maturity

Front 5

Chlorenchyma

Glandular Cells

Transfer Cells

Back 5

Types of parenchyma cells

Front 6

Chlorenchyma

Back 6

parenchyma cells involved in photosynthesis

Front 7

Glandular cells

Back 7

parenchyma cells that secrete nectar, fragrances, mucilage, resins, and oils ; they typically contain few chloroplasts but have elevated amounts of dictyosomes and endoplasmic reticulum.

Front 8

Transfer Cells

Back 8

parenchyma cells that mediate short distance transport of material by means of a large, extensive plasma membrane capable of holding numerous molecular pumps.

Front 9

COLLENCHYMA

Back 9

This plant tissue is present in elongating shoot tips that must be long and flexible, such as those of vining plants like grapes.

Front 10

Collenchyma

Back 10

Type of plant tissue that is usually produced only in shoot tips and young petioles, where the need for extra strength justifies the metabolic cost

Front 11

Sclerenchyma cells

Back 11

___________ develop from parenchyma cells in mature organs after they have stopped growing and have achieved their proper size and shape.

Front 12

Mechanical sclerenchyma

Conducting sclerenchyma

Back 12

Two types of sclerenchyma

Front 13

Sclerids

Fibers

Types of mechanical sclerenchyma

Front 14

Tracheids

Vessel Elements

Back 14

Types of conducting sclerenchyma

Front 15

Sclerids

Back 15

Type of mechanical sclerenchyma that is more or less isodiametric. It is often dead at maturity.

Front 16

Fibers

Back 16

Type of mechanical sclerenchyma that are long, usually dead, but alive parts are usually involved in storage

Front 17

Tracheids

Back 17

Type of conducting sclerenchyma that is long and narrow with tapered ends, with no poriferations. Dead in maturity and found in vascular plants

Front 18

Vessel Elements

Back 18

Type of conducting sclerenchyma that are short and wide and with rather perpendicular and walls. Dead at maturity and is found among flowering plants exclusively (w/ the exception of ferns, horsetail, gymnosperms)
