Study Notes
Tissue Types in Plants
- Meristematic tissue has immature (embryonic) cells located at the tips of roots and stems.
Plant Tissue Systems
- Vascular tissue is responsible for the transport of food and water in all parts of the plant's body.
Plant Development
- Epidermal tissue is developed from new cells produced by meristematic tissues and forms the protective covering of the plant's exposed surface.
Plant Organization
- The shoot apical meristem is responsible for the organization of leaves, stems, and roots.
Meristematic Tissues
- The major functions of meristematic tissues in plants include producing new cells, promoting growth, and allowing for differentiation into other types of tissues.
Epidermal Tissue
- Phellem tissue forms cork and is covered with suberin for waterproofing.
Plant Characteristics
- Gymnosperms and angiosperms are distinguished based on the types of vascular seed plants.
Vascular Tissue
- Tracheids, vessels, and xylem parenchyma cells specialize in the longer transport of water and dissolved solutes.
Leaf Structure
- Trichomes function in defense against insects and water loss.
- Simple leaves have a single blade in a stalk or petiole.
Xylem Function
- The main function of xylem in plants is to transport water and minerals from roots to leaves.
Plant Body Composition
- Parenchyma cells compose the majority of woody plants' body or herbaceous plant's body.
Stomatal Function
- The role of stomata in plant leaves is to facilitate gas exchange and transpiration.
Epidermal Function
- The primary function of epidermis in plants is to protect the plant from water loss and pathogens.
Leaf Arrangement
- Whorled leaf arrangement involves more than two leaves attached at the same node.
Transfer Cells
- The specialized function of transfer cells in plants is to facilitate mineral uptake by increasing the surface area of roots.
