    Study Notes

    Anatomy of Flowering Plants

    • Major component in plant organs: Parenchyma is the major component in plant organs.

    • Functions of photosynthesis, storage, and secretion: Phloem performs the functions of photosynthesis, storage, and secretion.

    • Thin cellulosic cell wall: Parenchyma cells have a thin cellulosic cell wall.

    • Living mechanical tissue: Collenchyma is the living mechanical tissue in plants.

    • Cell wall thickening at corners: Collenchyma cells have cell wall thickening mainly at corners.

    • Fruit pulp of guava: Fruit pulp of guava contains dead mechanical tissue (sclereids).

    • Meristematic tissues: Meristematic tissues are composed of immature cells with the ability to divide.

    • Apical and intercalary meristems: Both apical and intercalary meristems are primary meristems.

    Root Apical Meristem

    • Labelling in root apical meristem: The correct labelling in root apical meristem is the Cortex, Protoderm, and Root Cap.

    Vascular Bundle

    • Leaf: Leaf has shoot apical meristem and axillary bud primordium.

    • Root: Root has root apical meristem and axillary bud primordium.

    • Types of vascular bundles:

      • Conjoint collateral open/closed
      • Bicollateral
      • Concentric

    • Types of vascular bundles based on arrangement:

      • Collateral
      • Bicollateral
      • Concentric
      • Radial

    Other Plant Tissues

    • Sclereids: Sclereids are dead cells with thick and lignified cell walls, with pits.
    • Idioblasts: Idioblasts contain ergastic substances like crystals of calcium oxalate.
    • Sieve tubes: Sieve tubes are living cells with perforated walls and lack a nucleus, transporting food.
    • Tracheids and vessels: Tracheids & vessels are dead cells with thick lignified walls that transport water and minerals.
    • Xylem fibers: Xylem fibers are elongated tube-like cells with thick lignified walls, providing support.
