Meristematic Tissue
Surface/Dermal Tissue
Ground/Fundamental/Permanent Tissue
Vascular Tissue
Types of plant tissue
meristematic tissue
A growth tissue that serves in the production of new cells by the process of mitosis; increase in length and width.
Apical growth tissue
Lateral growth tissue
Intercalary growth tissue
types of meristematic tissue
Apical
capable of division in growth of roots and shoots; rise and extension.
Growing tip
other term for apical GT
Lateral
allows plants to grow laterally ; increase in stem width and thickness of dicot stems.
cork cambium
other term for lateral GT
intercalary
allow rapid growth and regrowth of monocots; stem elongation and rapid regrow.
vascular cambium
other term for intercalary GT
Surface/Dermal
serves as covering of plant body
Epidermis
located at the surface of the roots, stem and leaves; impregnated by cuticle.
Guard cells
regulate the flow of water in and out.
root hair cells
where most water absorption happens
Periderm
protective tissues that replace the epidermis in older regions of stems and roots
Ground/Fundamental/Permanent
Support storage and vital function on the process of photosynthesis
Parenchyma
Chlorenchyma
Aerenchyma
Collenchyma
Sclerenchyma
Endodermis
types of ground PT
Parenchyma
maintain shape and firmness of plant; storage of food and water
Aerenchyma
A spongy tissue that forms spaces or air channels in the leaves, stems and roots of some plants, which allows exchange of gases between the shoot and the root.
Chlorenchyma
Parenchyma cells containing chloroplasts ; food synthesis
Collenchyma
type of ground tissue cell with a strong, flexible cell wall; helps support larger plants
Sclerenchyma
strengthening tissue in a plant
Fiber
Sclereids
two types of sclerenchyma
Fiber
tough, strong flexible bundles.
Sclereids
stone-like cells
endodermis
surrounds the stele
Vascular
conduction of water, food and dissolved materials.
Phloem
Xylem
two types of vascular tissue
Phloem
transports sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules.
Xylem
transports and stores water
