Cells and tissues of flowering plants

Define plant meristem cells?

• Plant meristem cells are differentiated cells that can divide definitely and give rise to one type of differentiated cells.

• Plant meristem cells are undifferentiated cells that can divide indefinitely and give rise to many types of differentiated cells.

Choose the correct answers:

List the types of apical meristems.

• Ground Meristem = ground tissue

• Xylem meristem= phlome tissue

• Protoderm. Meristem= epidermal tissue

• Pro cambium = vascular cambium tissue

• Parenchyma meristem= collenchyma meristems

Identify the location of apical meristem

• At the node

• At the cambium

• At shoot root tips

Identify the location of vascular Cambium meristems

• At the shoot root tips

• At the cambium

• At the node

• None of the above

True or false:

the apical meristem is responsible for secondary growth

• True

• False

True or false:

The intercalary meristems are found in monocots

• True

• False

True or false:

Vascular cambium is responsible for primary growth

• True

• False

Describe the epidermal tissues in plants

• They form the outer protective covering of a plant

• They form the inner protective covering of a plant

• Epidermis contains closely packed epidermal cells.

• Epidermis contains closely packed cambium cells.

Why does the walls of epidermis are covered in waxy cuticules?

• To minimize water loss and to protect it from bacteria and other species that might cause diseases

• To maximize water loss and to expose it to bacterias and other species that might cause diseases
