Study Notes
Types of Tissues
- Tissues consist of cells similar in structure, known as simple permanent tissue.
- Complex tissue is composed of multiple cell types that work together for a common function.
Conductive Tissues
- Xylem and phloem are examples of complex tissues functioning as conducting tissues.
- These tissues form a vascular bundle, which is essential for plant survival in terrestrial environments.
Xylem
- Composed of tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma, and xylem fibers.
- Contains thick-walled cells, with a majority being dead.
- Tracheids and vessels are tubular, facilitating the vertical transport of water and minerals.
- Parenchyma serves to store food and aids in lateral water conduction.
- Fibers provide structural support.
Phloem
- Made up of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibers, and phloem parenchyma.
- Sieve tubes are tubular cells distinguished by perforated walls.
- Unlike xylem, phloem allows for the bidirectional movement of materials, transporting food from leaves to other plant parts.
