BIS 2C “Biodiversity and The Tree of Life” Midterm 2 Study Guide: Plantae Lineage The Non-vascular plants-Bryophytes/Embryophytes: 1. Early non-vascular plants including Charates and Coleochaete (outgroup-streptophytes) had phragmoplast, branched filaments, apical growth (meristems), and oogamy. 2. Bryophyte: A small flowerless green plant of the division Bryophyta, which compromises the Mosses (Polytrichum), Hornwort (Anthoceros), and Liverworts. • Traditional name used to refer ...

RHS 3 - Identify a Range of Plant Tissues and Describe their Structure & Function Simple tissues: Collenchyma - Answer- The cell walls are very thick, especially at the corners and provide support for the plant even when the cell has died. Petioles of plants contain mainly Collenchyma cells. Made up of dense cells that give very strong support and still maintain shape when dead. When the cells are compressed together Fibres are long slender cells found in bundles, they quickly become lignifie...

a) Dermal tissue system: is the outer protective layer which covers the entire body of the plant. It protects the organ (leaf/stem/root) against physical damage, desiccation and pathogenic organisms. The dermal tissue of non-woody plants usually consists of a single layer of tightly packed cells called the epidermis. In woody plants, the epidermis is replaced by the periderm which mainly consists of nonliving cork cells b) Vascular tissue system: consists of two vascular tissues, i.e. xylem and...
