4 layers of primary tissue

Epidermis, Cortex, Vascular tissue, Pith

Epidermis

Single outer layer of cells

Cortex

Band of tissue between epidermis, Vascular tissue

Vascular tissue

Tissue conducting water, nutrients

Pith

Inner layer of tissue, similar to cortex

Traits of epidermis

1. In the herbaceous stems


2. Transfers material between plants and environment


3. Prevents water loss


4. Outer walls have cutin

What does cutin build up to form

Cuticle

Cuticle forms a barrier that is ...

Water and air tight

Photosynthesis uses ... And produces ...

CO2, O2

What is stomata

Pores in the epidermis that open and close

How is stomata formed

Pair of guard cells create a hole between them

What happens when guard cells are full of water

Swell

Characteristics of trichomes

1. Elongated epidermal cells "hairs"


2. Defense


3. Create layer of humid air around plant


4. Many die at maturity


5. Some are alive

Characteristics of the cortex

1. Layer between the epidermis and vascular tissue


2. contains photosynthetic parenchyma ( chlorychyma) and collenchyma


3. May have crystals, silica

Vascular tissue characteristics

1. Not found in all plants (small organisms can get by with diffusion)


2. Xylem-conducts water and minerals


3. Phloem- sugar and minerals


4. Occurs in bundles in primary growth


5. Not a true circulatory system

Xylem characteristics

1. Tracheids and vessel elements


2. As cell develops it stops dividing, becomes long and narrow, deposits secondary cell wall then cell dies.


3. Secondary cell wall is water tight, must have openings to allow water to pass from cell to cell

What is a vessel

Stack of vessel elements

Vessel elements

Perforations with no cell wall and water moves freely


Annual thickening characteristics

1. Weaker


2. High surface area of primary cell wall, more adaptive in wet environments

Pitted cells characteristics

1. More adaptive in dryer environments

Tracheids obtain water . . .

From those below and pass it to those above

Pits are aligned ...

Pit-pairs

How are pit membranes formed

Primary cell walls and middle lamella

Sieve elements characteristics

1. Conduct sugar through large plasmodesmata (sieve pores)


2. Groups called sieve areas

Sieve cells characteristics

1. Long, spindle-shaped, sieve areas cover surface


2. Albuminous cells

Sieve tube members characteristics

1. Small sieve areas, large pores in sieve plates


2. Companion cells

Stems grow longer at their

Apical meristem

Apical meristem characteristics

1. Cells divide by mitosis


2. Push meristem upward

Subapical meristem characteristics

1. Region below apical meristem


2. Cells also growing, dividing here


3. Cells stop dividing, start elongating, differentiate

What differentiates first in primary growth

Protoxylem

Protophloem

The exterior to Protoxylem

Protoderm

Gives rise to epidermis

Angiosperms (flowering plants) characteristics

1. produce flowers, fruits, seeds


2. Monocots- one cotyledon (seed leaf)


3. Dicots (eudicots)- two cotyledons

Gymnosperms characteristics

1. Non-flowering


2. Produce seeds, not fruit
