Study Notes
Types of Plant Tissues
- Two main types: meristematic and permanent tissues.
- Meristematic tissue is found in growing regions and is capable of division.
- Permanent tissues originate from meristematic tissue after it loses dividing ability.
- Permanent tissues are classified as:
- Simple Tissues: Parenchyma, Collenchyma, Sclerenchyma.
- Complex Tissues: Xylem and Phloem.
Types of Animal Tissues
- Four categories: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue.
- Epithelial tissue is classified based on shape and function:
- Squamous, Cuboidal, Columnar, Ciliated, Glandular.
- Connective tissues include:
- Areolar, Adipose, Bone, Tendon, Ligament, Cartilage, Blood.
- Muscle tissue can be:
- Striated (skeletal), Unstriated (smooth), Cardiac (heart).
- Nervous tissue consists of neurons that transmit impulses.
Differences between Plants and Animals
- Living organisms are composed of cells; unicellular organisms have single cells performing all basic functions.
- Plant cells generally do not move and have a large amount of supportive tissue with many dead cells.
- Animals are mobile, requiring more energy, with specialized cells for efficient functions.
- Muscle cells facilitate movement, nerve cells relay messages, and blood transports nutrients and waste.
- Plant growth is localized to specific regions, while animal growth is not constrained.
Meristematic Tissue
- Key to plant growth, located at specific points such as:
- Apical (tips of roots and shoots),
- Lateral (sides of stems),
- Intercalary (nodes between leaves).
- Initial cells produced by meristem are initially similar to meristematic cells, gradually differentiating into various tissue types.
Functions of Tissues
- Tissues allow for specialization of functions in multicellular organisms.
- Vascular tissues in plants (xylem and phloem) are essential for the transportation of food, water, oxygen, and waste.
- In plants, certain tissues continue to divide throughout the organism's life, contributing to growth and development.
Plant Growth Observations
- Roots can continue growing even after removal from the plant due to active meristematic regions.
- Growth may stop in certain conditions (e.g., jar 2) due to lack of nutrients or space, affecting the meristem's activity.
