It is a collection of similar cells performing an organized function for the plant
PLANT TISSUES
Two types of plant tissues
- MERISTEMATIC TISSUE
- PERMANENT TISSUE
A group of cells that perform or help to perform a common function and have a common origin in plants
PLANT TISSUES
Types of meristematic tissues
- APICAL MERISTEM
- LATERAL MERISTEM
- INTERCALARY MERISTEM
Meristematic plant tissue that is involved in length
APICAL MERISTEM
Meristematic plant tissue involved in the diameter of plant
LATERAL MERISTEM
Meristematic plant tissue involved in the rapid growth of young stem
INTERCALARY MERISTEM
Types of permanent plant tissues
- DERMAL TISSUES
- GROUND TISSUES
- VASCULAR TISSUES
Acts as protection, gas control, and water absorption
DERMAL TISSUES
Has different function based on cell type
GROUND TISSUES
It transport water and nutrients
VASCULAR TISSUES
Types of dermal tissues
- EPIDERMAL (protection, absorbs water and minerals)
- STOMATA (GUARD CELLS) (gas exchange)
- TRICHOMES (reduce transpiration)
Types of ground tissues
- PARENCHYMA (aids in photosynthesis, storage in the roots)
- COLLENCHYMA (shoot support (active))
- SCLERENCHYMA (shoot support (ceased))
Types of vascular tissues
- XYLEM (transport water and nutrients)
- PHLOEM (transport organic compounds)
Simple permanent tissues
- EPIDERMIS
- PARENCHYMA
- COLLENCHYMA
- SCLERENCHYMA
- CORK
- SECRETORY TISSUES
Tissues that are concerned with the secretion of gums, resins, volatile oils, nectar latex, and other substances in plants
SECRETORY TISSUES
Characterized by cells that are THICK-WALLED CELLS
SCHLERENCHYMA
Types of sclerenchyma
- SCLEREIDS
- FIBERS
It serves as the outermost covering of old stems and old roots of woody dicot plants
CORK
Type of cork
SUBERIN
These are the most abundant of all the cell types found in almost all major parts of higher plants
PARENCHYMA
Types of parenchyma
- AERENCHYMA
- CHLORENCHYMA
This is the OUTERMOST LAYER of cells found in all young plant organs
EPIDERMIS
These are elongated cells with irregularly THICK CELL WALLS that provide support and structure
COLLENCHYMA
