  • non seed bearing plants
    Non flowering plants and produce spores instead of seeds
  • Vescular plants
    Possess xylem and phloem
  • Non - vascular plants
    Low growing , reproduce with spores and need a moist habitat
  • Gymnosperm
    Has seeds but does not bear flowers
    its seeds are naked and do not bear seed coats
  • Angiosperms
    Has seeds and bears flower
    has coated seeds and undergoes double fertilization

    Multiples of 4 & 5
  • Xylem
    Moves water
  • phloem
    Moves sugar
  • Leaves monocot
    Smooth, parallel venation
  • Leaves Dicot
    Textured, branching venation
  • vascular tissues monocot
    Scattered
  • Vascular tissues Dicot
    Arranged in a ring
  • Central Vacuole
    Maintains osmotic pressure against cell wall
  • Cell wall
    Shapes supports and protects the cell
  • Plastid
    Houses pigments that gives colors
  • Chloroplast
    Contains chlorophyll
  • Chromoplast
    Makes and stores plant pigments
  • Parenchyma cells
    thin,primary walls that retain their protoplasm at maturity
  • Function of parenchyma cells
    photosynthesis And respiration
    storage
  • Collenchyma cells
    thick, primary walls that retain their protoplasm at maturity
  • Roles of Collenchyma cells
    Flexible support system
  • Sclerenchyma cells 

    Cells with lignified secondary walls that have lost protoplasm
  • Functions of sclerenchyma cells
    Protection, structural support and water conduction

    sclerenchyma cells
  • Function of dermal tissue 

    Protection, prevent water loss
  • Function of ground tissues
    Metabolism , storage , support
  • Function of Vascular tissue
    Transport water and sugar
  • description of dermal tissue
    Outer covering of the leaves , stems and roots
  • trichome
    Hair like projection that typically serves as protection
  • Cuticle
    Thin layer over the external part of the dermal tissue to prevent water loss ; absent in roots
  • Stomata
    Control water lost of transpiration ; allow gas exchange
  • Guard cells
    Regulate the opening and closing of stomata and prevents water loss
  • Bundles
    Arrangement of vascular tissues for monocots
