botany (introduction)

• what is the 4 type of plant cell?

  meristematic cell, parenchyma cell, collenchyma cell, and sclerenchyma cell
• this cells continue to divide and elongate the plant indefinitely

  meristematic cells
• parts of plant where meristematic cells can be found

  apical meristem, intercalary meristem, and lateral meristem
• position where the branches intersects and where leaves attached to branches. (meristematic cell)

  intercalary position
• part where the meristematic cells can be found in the tips of the roots and the tips of the the shoots (part of the plant that go up into the air)

  apical meristem
• part of meristematic cell- the lateral side of the lateral position within the vascular or transportation tissues of the plant.

  lateral meristem
• type of cells that do most of the work of the plant

  parenchyma cells
• type of cells that is responsible for photosynthesis, energy nutrient storage, and nutrient transport.

  parenchyma cells
• type of cell that create new structures to heal areas where plant has been wounded

  parenchyma cells
• the back up system for the plant

  collenchyma cells
• collenchyma cells are stiff but also flexible
• type of cells that are no longer growing

  sclerenchyma cells
• the type of cell that provide most of the support of the plant by creating woody tissue in stems and trunk

  sclerenchyma cells
• type of sclerenchyma that can be stretched lengthwise in a plant stem and most of a plant support. this also what people use to make rope and fabric out of plant.

  sclerenchyma fibers
• type of sclerenchyma which is more versatile. this what makes up the shells of nuts, the hard coatings of seed, and many other hardened structure of a plant

  sclereids
• Palisade mesophyll

  
• Name the part: Epidermis

  
• Name the part: cuticle

  
• Name the part: vein

  
• Name the part: lower epidermis

  
• Name the part: spongy mesophyll

  
• Name the part: stomata
