Plant Tissue

Why are most cells of plant tissue dead?

• They have a short life span

• They provide structure and support to the plant

What are the two main types of Plant Tissue?

• Meristematic Tissue

• Permanent Tissue

• Growth Tissue

• Chlorophyl

Answer explanation

Meristematic has three more types: Apical meristematic, Intercalary meristematic tissues, and Lateral tissue.

Permanent Tissue is divided into Simple and Permanent Tissue.

This is the tissue found in the growing regions of the plant, like the tips of the root, stem, and branches.

They divide continuously and help in the growth of the plant.

• Meristematic Tissue

• Permanent Tissue

What explains the differing appearance of the cells in meristematic tissue?

• The outer cells are more compact and dense to provide protection

• The cells are undergoing different stages of mitosis or cell division

This type of simple permanent tissue has thin primary walls and specializes in photosynthesis.

• Parenchyma

• Collenchyma

• Sclerenchyma

This type of simple permanent tissue is used for support in stems and leaves.

• Parenchyma

• Collenchyma

• Sclerenchyma

This type of simple permanent tissue is used for support and has very thick secondary walls.

• Parenchyma

• Collenchyma

• Sclerenchyma

This type of complex permanent tissue brings water to the different parts of the plant.

• Xylem

• Phloem

This type of complex permanent tissue brings food and organic material to the different parts of the plant.

• Xylem

• Phloem
