PLANT TISSUES Flashcards
(11 cards)
What type of tissue consists of undifferentiated cells found in growing areas of plants, such as the root tip and leaf bud, where the cells are actively dividing and give rise to organs or other important plant parts?
Meristematic Tissues.
What type of meristem is located on root tips and shoot tips, and is responsible for the formation and primary growth of various cells and tissues?
Apical meristems.
What type of meristem is responsible for the horizontal expansion of tissues, particularly the cork cambium and vascular meristem?
Lateral meristem.
What type of meristem is responsible for regenerating removed parts of the plant, and occurs between the old tissue regions of the node and leaf attachment?
Intercalary meristems.
What type of tissue is a single layer that surrounds the plant body, and functions to separate the internal system from the environment, absorb molecules, minerals, and nutrients, and protect against pathogens?
Epidermal Tissues.
What type of tissue, consisting of phloem and xylem, is responsible for the systemic transport of mineral water and important molecules in plants?
Vascular Tissues.
What type of tissue is made up of parenchyma, sclerenchyma, or collenchyma cells, and generally functions to harden and give structural rigidity to the plant?
Ground Tissues.
give the Different meristems for specific
plant parts:
Apical meristems, Lateral meristem, Intercalary meristems
What type of plant cells remain alive upon maturation and are typically involved in functions such as photosynthesis, storage, and tissue repair?
Parenchyma cells.
What type of plant cells die due to lignified secondary cell wall thickening and provide structural support to the plant?
Sclerenchyma cells.
What type of plant cells possess a primary cell wall and undergo secondary thickening, providing flexible support to growing plant parts?
Collenchyma cells.
