Study Notes
Plant Tissue and Cell Wall
- Simple tissue in plants is defined as a group of similar cells that perform a common function.
Meristems in Plants
- Apical meristems are present at the tips of shoots and roots in plants.
- Intercalary meristems function in the elongation of stems and roots by producing new cells.
Tissue Systems
- The sclerenchyma tissue system offers elasticity, flexibility, and strength to the plant.
Cell Wall Function
- The primary function of the cell wall in a plant cell is to provide mechanical support and protection.
- The cell wall does not facilitate cell-to-cell communication.
Plasmodesmata and Middle Lamella
- Plasmodesmata are narrow channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjacent plant cells, allowing for direct cell-to-cell communication.
- Plasmodesmata are found in the cell wall, specifically in the middle lamella region.
- The function of the middle lamella is to hold adjacent plant cells together.
- Plasmodesmata are distinguished from gap junctions in animal cells by their structural and functional differences.
