Study Notes
Plant Tissues
- Plant tissues are classified into two main types based on their dividing capacity: meristematic and permanent tissue.
Meristematic Tissue
- Consists of actively dividing cells that have the ability to divide.
- There are three types of meristematic tissues:
- Apical meristem: found at the growing tips of stems and roots, responsible for increasing the length of stem and roots.
- Intercalary meristem: found at the base of leaves, required for longitudinal growth of plants.
- Lateral meristem: found on the lateral side of stems and roots, helps to increase the length of stem and roots.
Permanent Tissue
- Formed from meristematic tissues, cells lose the ability to divide.
- Divided into two main types:
- Parenchyma: composed of unspecialized living cells with relatively thin cell walls, intercellular space, and found in soft parts of plants.
- Collenchyma: composed of living and elongated cells with cell walls irregularly thickened at the corners.
