Plant Cell Organisation

• Organised into tissues and organs
• plants are made of organs like stems,roots and leaves
• plant organs are made of tissues
• Epidermal tissue covers the whole plant
• Palisade mesophyll tissue - part of leaf where most of photosynthesis happens
• Spongy mesophyll tissue - also in the leaf and contains big air spaces to allow gases to diffuse in and out of cells
• Xylem and phloem - transport water and mineral ions in plants
• meristem tissue - found at growing tips of shoots and roots and can differentiate into any type of plant cell,allowing the plant to grow
