This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Plant Tissue, Structure:Large cells acting as filling material Location: Fill space between other tisues Function: Provides mechanical support Examples Sclerenchyma, Permanent Tissue (fully differentiated, specific function) Three types Dermal Tissue, Chlorenchyma Contains Parenchyma cells that contain chloroplasts, Meristematic Tissue (Ability to divide) Two Types Apical Meristem, Mature cells are dead Evenly thickened cell walls Empty - no cytoplasm Pits allow for water movement Strength and protection Two types Fibres Sclereids or stone cells, Permanent Tissue (fully differentiated, specific function) Three types Vascular Tissue, Structure:Brick shaped in transverse sect, no air-spaces between cells Location: Outer layers of roots, stems and leaves Function: Protection, prevent dessication Examples Epidermis Root hairt Guard cell, Vascular Tissue Characteristics Structure: Tube shaped, long elongated arranged end to end Location: Within roots stems, veins Function: Transport of water and nutrients, Parenchyma Contains Rounded living cells Thin Cell walls Large intercellular airspaces Leaves - chloroplasts Roots, stems, leaves - starch storeage, Structure:Large cells acting as filling material Location: Fill space between other tisues Function: Provides mechanical support Examples Parenchyma, Collenchyma Contains Rounded living cells Thickened corners Unevenly thickened cell walls Chloroplasts Young stems mech strength and support, Apical Meristem Characteristics Structure: Vertical columns, no vacuole large nucleus Location: Tips of roots and stems Function: Divide to allow for growth of roots and stems, Lateral Meristem (Cambium) Characteristics Structure: Vertical Columns, no vacuole, large nuclues Location: Between xylem and phloem, vascular bundles, stems of flowering plants Function: Secondary growth or growth in width of stems divides to form vascular tissue, Permanent Tissue (fully differentiated, specific function) Three types Ground Tissue, Structure:Large cells acting as filling material Location: Fill space between other tisues Function: Provides mechanical support Examples Collenchyma, Dermal Tissue Characteristics Structure:Brick shaped in transverse sect, no air-spaces between cells Location: Outer layers of roots, stems and leaves Function: Protection, prevent dessication, Meristematic Tissue (Ability to divide) Two Types Lateral Meristem (Cambium), Plant Tissue Two Main Groups Permanent Tissue (fully differentiated, specific function), Structure: Tube shaped, long elongated arranged end to end Location: Within roots stems, veins Function: Transport of water and nutrients Examples Xylem - transport water Phloem - transport organic food, Sclerenchyma contains Mature cells are dead Evenly thickened cell walls Empty - no cytoplasm Pits allow for water movement Strength and protection
