Study Notes
Tissue Organization
- A group of cells performing a common function is called a tissue.
Meristem Types
- Apical meristem is located at the apices of the shoots and roots.
- Meristematic tissues are characterized by the absence of vacuoles.
- Dedifferentiated meristem develops from mature tissues that have already undergone differentiation.
- Embryonic meristem is relatively small, has large nuclei, thin primary walls of cellulose, and no vacuoles.
Cell Development
- Differentiation refers to the process of a cell becoming specialized in structure and function.
- Dedifferentiation is the development of derivatives of meristematic cells into mature cells.
Tissue Classification
- Mature tissues are classified based on their function.
Meristem Arrangement
- Intercalary meristem is arranged parallel to the sides of the organ, as in the vascular cambium and cork cambium.
