Meristematic tissues - cells are rapidly dividing - causes growth in length - at tip of stem and at top
1. Apical meristem by mitosis in plant of roots
- Cells are undi erentiated - Di erentiate to form
- Cells are thin walled, permanent tissues
small, lled with
cytoplasm and have a
large nucleus
2. Lateral meristem “ “ - growth in width in plant - in rings in roots and “ “
- Formation of side stems
branches
Permanent tissues - living - form basic tissue of - roots, stems and leaves
1. Parenchyma tissue - Rounded and elongated plants - All over the place
- Large vacuoles, thin walls - Photosynthesis
of cellulose - Storage
- Large intracellular air - Secretion
spaces between them - Filling tissue
- And chloroplasts =
chlorenchyma
2. Collenchyma tissue - living - mechanical - stems and leaves (just
- Unevenly thickened cell strengthening and under surface)
walls (corners thicker) support
- Alternating layers of
cellulose
- Contain chloroplasts

3. Sclerenchyma tissue - dead cells (mature) - support, strengthen, - stem and leaves
- Thick cell wall, cellulose protection
cemented by lignin -
permeable and
strengthens walls
- Gap left by dead
protoplasm = lumen
- 2 types = bers and
sclereids
Complex tissues - normally one cell layer - protect plant from dry - outer covering of roots,
1. Epidermis thick out stems and leaves
- Closely packaged cells - Protect against
- Composed several types mechanical injury
of cells (guard cells and
root hair cells)
- Secrete waxy cuticle
