A)ORGANISATION OF THE PLANT BODY
A tissue is an organised group of cells, working together as a functional unit
![Page 4: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Four basic tissues
in plants:
![Page 5: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1. Meristematic tissue
Meristem: root tip
gives rise to all other cells and tissues in the plant
2. Ground tissue
consists primarily of parenchyma cells that may live for many years
functions:storagephotosynthesis secretion parenchyma
cells
![Page 6: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
3. Epidermis (dermal tissue) one cell thick in most plants, forms the outer
protective covering
4. Vascular tissue includes the:
xylem phloem
LS stem
![Page 7: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Two types of plant tissues
Sclerenchyma
Simple tissue composed of one type of cell :1. Parenchyma2. Collenchyma3. Sclerenchyma
Complex tissue composed of more than one type of cell: 1. Xylem [4 types]2. Phloem [5 types]
XYLEM

B) PLANT GROWTH
Growth in stems and roots is generated from specific regions of:
cell division cell expansion
Meristems:
the localised regions of cell division in plants
![Page 9: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Meristematic tissues retain the ability to produce
new cells indefinitely
![Page 10: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Two types of Meristemat tips of:
roots stems buds
1. Apical meristems

Meristems may remain active for
years, or centuries.
Oldest known living plant: a bristlecone
pine, about 4,900 years-old.

Parenchyma Cells: unspecialised cells
Act as packing tissue between more specialised tissues
![Page 20: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Appearance: of Parenchyma Cells variable shape with either rounded, lobed
or flattened walls
cells are usually elongated: 2-3 times long as they are wide
have:1) thin primary walls 2) large vacuoles
![Page 22: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Aqueous parenchyma• stores water in succulent plants
![Page 36: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Cells are large Walls are thin Cells store water
in a large vacuole
• when cells use up water, the cells shrink by enfolding the wall
Aqueous parenchyma
![Page 37: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Collenchyma: Structure:- shows many of the features of parenchyma
Is characterised by the deposition of extra cellulose
at the corners of the cells.
![Page 38: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Function of Collenchyma:- provides support in the
organs in which it occurs- important in young
plants, herbaceous plants and in leaves
Collenchyma can grow and stretch without
imposing limitations on the growth of other
cells around itCollenchyma

Collenchyma sometimes instead of rings, is deposited in bundles to form:
ridges as along the fleshy petioles of celery
![Page 46: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Collenchyma in dicot leaves appears as:
solid masses running the length of the midrib, providing support for the vascular bundles
![Page 47: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

SclerenchymaFunction: support and mechanical strength
Two types of sclerenchyma cell:sclereids or stone cells
usually roughly sphericalfibres elongated cells
![Page 50: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

![Page 53: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Distribution of sclereids:
2. in groups anywhere in the plant:
most common in: cortex, pith, phloem,
fruit and seeds
1. scattered singly
![Page 54: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Function of sclereids:
- confer firmness or rigidity where they occur in the flesh of pear fruits =
‘grittiness’ when eaten
Sclereid from macerated tissue
![Page 55: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Sclerenchyma sclereids
Very thick secondary
walls
The primary wall is heavily thickened with deposits of lignin
![Page 56: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Lignin is a hard substance with high:
Tensile strength: it does not break easily on stretching
Compressional strength:it does not buckle easily
Tensile Forces Compressional
Forces

Sclerenchyma Sclereids
Simple pits
Simple pits: appear in the walls as they thicken occur in both fibres and sclereids
![Page 58: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Simple pits arise from
plasmodesmata
![Page 59: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

Fibres individual sclerenchyma fibres are strong due to lignified walls
fibres are elongated with pointed ends
their strength is increased:
1. by their arrangement into strands of tissue that extend for considerable distances
2. as their ends interlock, their combined strength is enhanced
![Page 61: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Fibres occur in:1. xylem and
phloem 2. cortex below the epidermis of stems and roots
3. as a ‘cap’ in vascular bundles
Phloem
![Page 63: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)

Epidermis: One cell thick layer- secretes a waxy
substance called cutin - forms the cuticle
- contains no chloroplasts except for the guard cells
![Page 65: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

Trichomes or Hairsare outgrowths from the epidermis -
unicellular or multicellular
![Page 70: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Trichomes or HairsFunctions:1) in climbing plants e.g. goosegrass: hooked
hairs prevent stems from slipping from their supports
![Page 71: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
2) some hairs retain moist air as in xerophytes to reduce water loss
Trichomes (hairs) in Ziziphus nummularia

Short Questions:1. The diagrams below show cells
from a tissue of a flowering plant.a) i) Name cells A and B.
A: vessel element/member B: tracheid
ii) State one way in which the structure of cell A differs from cell B.A – wider / shorter / open at both ends / no tapering ends
![Page 95: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
b) i) In which tissue are these cells found?Xylem
ii) State two functions of this tissue.
Support. Transport of water and mineral ions.
c) Describe briefly three ways in which cell A is adapted for its functions in the plant.
1. Open at both ends – easy flow 2. No cell contents – no interference with flow3. Narrow diameter – allows for capillary action4. Lignified walls – for support / prevent lateral exit of water

3. The diagrams below show two supporting tissues present in flowering plants.
a) Give TWO structural features shown in the diagram which are characteristic of collenchyma.
1. Thickened corners of cell walls2. No intercellular air spaces.
![Page 97: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
b)i) Give TWO ways in which sclerenchyma differs from collenchyma.
1. Sclerenchyma has evenly thick cell walls but thickening at corners in collenchyma.
2. Empty lumen in sclerenchyma but living cell contents in collenchyma.
![Page 98: Plant tissues [2015]](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102706/55c30ee7bb61ebd9738b4723/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
ii) Collenchyma is often present in the petiole and midrib of leaves. Suggest TWO reasons why collenchyma is more suitable than sclerenchyma for support in these locations.
1. Allows surrounding tissues to expand / grow.2. Makes leaf flexible so it will not snap.

Internal Structure of a Dicot Stem
- Outermost layer is: epidermis- Cortex lies beneath: epidermis- Ring of vascular bundles separates
the cortex from the: pith
- The pith lies in the center of the stem

Why are the vascular bundles arranged in the form of ring rather than located at the
centre?
This arrangement gives flexibility to the stem.Stem can sway in the wind without breaking.The stem can resist compression and bending forces.
