Study Notes
Seed Plant Body Structure
- Composed of three organs: leaf, stem, and root.
Plant Meristems
- Plant growth is limited to specific regions where cells retain the capacity for continued cell division.
- Unlike animals, which have a generalized growth pattern.
Sclerenchyma
- Function: provides mechanical support (strength) due to thick lignified secondary walls.
- Contain large amounts of cellulose and lignin.
Sieve Cells and Plates
- Contain many pores that allow for cell-to-cell solute transport.
- Sieve plates consist of primary pit fields and occur in the end walls of cells.
Primary Meristems
- Apical meristem of the root organizes to form three primary meristems:
- Protoderm: gives rise to the epidermis.
- Procambium: produces xylem and phloem.
- Ground meristem: produces the cortex.
