Study Notes
Plant Tissue
- Plant tissues are of two types: meristematic tissue and permanent tissue.
- Meristematic tissue is found at growing points of a plant, such as tips of roots, stems, and branches.
- Permanent tissues are made up of either living or dead cells, which have lost their ability to multiply.
Simple Permanent Tissues
- There are three types of simple permanent tissues: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
- Parenchyma cells have thin cell walls, are oval, spherical, or polygonal in shape, and have spaces between them.
- Collenchyma cells have thick cell walls, are living, and are found in non-woody plants, leaf stalks, and veins of leaves.
- Collenchyma provides support and flexibility to the plant.
- Sclerenchyma cells have thick cell walls, are dead, and are found in stems and veins of leaves.
- Sclerenchyma provides strength and protection to the plant.
Complex Permanent Tissues
- Complex permanent tissues consist of two conducting tissues: xylem and phloem.
- Xylem transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the other parts of the plant.
- Phloem transports food from the leaves to different parts of the plant.
Animal Tissue
- Animal tissues are made up of different types of cells that perform different functions.
- Observing animal tissues can be done using a permanent slide and a compound microscope.
Identify the types of plant tissues based on their cell walls and characteristics. This quiz covers Parenchyma, Collenchyma, and Sclerenchyma tissues.
