Contain cells that either undifferentiated or incompletely differentiated, they continue to divide and contribute to the growth of the cells
Permanent tissues
Contain cells that no longer actively dividing
Tissue systems
Dermal tissues
Vascular tissues
Ground tissues
Dermal tissues
Functions the same as epithelial tissue, covers and protects the plant, control gas exchange and water absorption, found in the outer layer of roots, stems, and leaves (epidermis)
Dermal tissue cells
Epidermal cells
Guard cells
Trichomes
Epidermal cells
Make up the majority of epidermis, secrete cuticle (waxy substance in the leaves, controls the transpiration of the plant)
Guard cells
Surround and control the stoma (the hole, plural: stomata)
Trichomes
Hair-like structures in the epidermis for defense, helps for photosynthesis, decrease the exposure to light
Vascular tissues
Transports water, minerals, and sugars to different parts of the plant, exist in two types: xylem and phloem
Xylem cells
Xylem parenchyma
Tracheids
Vessel elements
Tracheids
Transport water, slender & thin, has sharp edge
Vessel elements
Transport water, wide & flat
Phloem cells
Sieve-tube elements
Companion cells
Phloem parenchyma
Phloem fibers
Sieve-tube elements
Transports glucose
Companion cells
Accompany the sieve-tube elements, has complete organelles
Phloem fibers
Supporting cells
Tracheophytes are vascular plants (flowering plants), Bryophytes are non-vascular plants (mosses, etc.)
Photosynthesis can occur anywhere as long as it has chloroplast
