Meristems-enables plants to have
indeterminate growth
Apical meristems –tip of roots and shoots
-initiate primary growth in the length of roots and shoots

Cell Types
1. Parenchyma Cells
Pliable, thin-walled
Alive when matured
Photosynthesis, storage, secretion

Cell Types
2. Collenchyma Cells
Thick, elongated and uneven cells glued by pectin
Lack secondary walls
Flexible support

Cell Types
2. Sclerenchyma Cells
With secondary cell wall hardened by lignin
Support mature plants
Protection of cells

Tissues of Vascular Plants
Vascular Plants
Types of Plant Tissue
Simple tissueComplex tissue
Tissue system1) Dermal2) Vascular3) Ground
11
1) Dermal Tissue System
Outer protective covering
Prevents physical damage and water loss
EpidermisPeridermCuticle
12
1) Dermal Tissue System
Outer protective covering (physical damage desiccation)
Begins as parenchyma cells then modifies
Helps control the exchange of gases and water vapor
EpidermisPeridermCuticle

2) Vascular Tissue SystemTwo complex
tissues:1) Xylem
*Sap

2) Vascular Tissue SystemTwo complex
tissues:
2) Phloem
*Sap
15
3) Ground/Fundamental Tissue System
Makes up the plant’s bulk
Cortex-between dermal and
vascular tissues*storage of food
Pith-between phloem and
xylem-soft spongy parenchyma
cells
