Which of the following is a type of sclerenchyma cell?
A companion cell, Fiber , Sieve Tube?
What is a fiber?
What are the four organs of plants?
What are flowers, stems, leaves, and roots?
Primary function is support
What is xylem?
The construction sites of plants
Young shoots on plants
What are buds?
Main function of tracheids
What is water transport?
Absorbs and transports water and dissolved nutrients to stems and leaves, anchors the plant, and can store the products of photosynthesis (example is a carrot).
What is a root?
Composed of a layer of tightly packed cells that secrete a waxy cuticle to protect underlying plant tissues.
What is epidermal tissue?

What are sieve plates?
Shoot system that usually consists of main and secondary shoots; shoots contain terminal buds, axillary (lateral) buds, stem (nodes and internodes) and leaves.

Living supportive tissue that has elongated cells and a thick primary cell wall. Its main function is the mechanical support of young stems and leaves via turgor.
What is collenchyma?
Skin-like tissue of the plant
What is the epidermis?
Part of stem between first leaves of the seedling (cotyledons) and root (i.e., stem/root transition place)
What is hypocotyl?
These make proteins for sieve tubes in flowering plants
What are companion cells?
Shoot system that consists of the floral unit of the plant
What is the generative shoot system?
The tissue that transports sugar throughout the plant
What is the phloem?

What are complex tissues?
What is fruit?
A protective water-resistant tissue in the outer covering of stems or trunks.
What is cork?

Its main function is a support of older plant organs, and also hardening different parts of plants (for example, make fruit inedible before ripeness so no one will take the fruit before seeds are ready to be distributed)
What is sclerenchyma?
Complex tissue that is responsible for photosynthesis and storage.
What is parenchyma?
The first internode of the stem
What is the epicotyl?
