Study Notes
Plant Tissue Functions
- Apical meristem occurs at the tips of stems and roots in plants.
Sclerenchyma Tissue
- The main function of sclerenchyma tissue is to provide mechanical support and protection to the plant.
Collenchyma Tissue
- The main function of collenchyma tissue is to provide flexibility and support to the plant, particularly in growing regions.
Xylem Tissue
- The main function of xylem tissue in plants is to transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Phloem Tissue
- In angiosperms, phloem tissue is composed of sieve cells, companion cells, and phloem parenchyma cells.
- Phloem tissue is responsible for transporting sugars and other organic compounds produced by photosynthesis from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
