Plant Tissue Types

100

This is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the plant.

Xylem

200

This type of tissue is involved in transporting sugars and other organic compounds throughout the plant.

Phloem

300

These cells provide support in the plant and are often dead at maturity.

Sclerenchyma

400

This type of tissue is responsible for cell division an growth.

Meristematic Tissue

500

This plant tissue type is involved in photosynthesis and is located in the leaves and stems.

Parenchyma

Functions of Plant Tissues

100

This tissue type helps in structural support for the plant and is flexible.

Collenchyma

200

This tissue helps reduce water loss by forming a protective outer layer.

Epidermis

300

This tissue is found in vascular bundles and plays a role in both mechanical support and transportation of water and minerals.

Xylem

400

This tissue is typically found in fast-growing plants like grasses, aiding in recovery and growth after grazing or cutting.

Intercalary Meristem

500

This meristematic tissue is responsible for the elongation of stem and roots.

Apical Meristem

Plant Structures

100

This structure is the main site for photosynthesis in most plants.

Leaf

200

The function of this structure is to anchor the plant to the soil and absorb water and nutrients.

Root

300

This structure helps transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant.

Stem

400

This structure surrounds the plant cell, provides support, and regulates what enters and exits the cell.

Cell Wall

500

This plant structure is responsible for the reproduction of new plants.

Flower

Growth and Development

100

This region of the plant is responsible for the growth in length and is found in the roots and shoots.

Apical Meristem

200

This tissue is responsible for the lateral growth and thickness in stem and roots.

Cambium

300

This structure is the key component for the growth and survival of the plant. It determines the plant's overall shape

Axillary Bud

400

This process allows produce new cells for growth and is triggered by the division of meristem cells.

Cell Division

500

This is where the attachment of leaves and the development of reproductive structures like flowers are located.

Node

Plant Structures Pt 2.

100

This structure is the female reproductive organs.

Pistil

200

This structure is the male reproductive organs.

Stamen

300

This structure is what draws the attention of bees and is usually a bright color.

Petals

400

This structure protects the flower until it is done developing.

Sepal

500

This structure holds the leaf up and increases the surface area.
