, Grade 10 Plant Tissues
Meristematic Permanent
Aprical Lateral Epidermal Ground Conducting
Root Hairs Parenchyma Collenchyma Sclerenchyma Xylem Phloem
Stomata Chlorenchymna Fibres Vessels
Palisade Stone Cells /
Tracheids
Mesophyll Sclereids
Spongy
Mesophyll
Meristematic
similar to stem cells in humans
remains undifferentiated / unspecialized
continually dividing by mitosis to form new tissue
cells are small, tightly packed + brick – shaped with thin walls
Apical Meristematic
- tips of roots + stems
- primary growth ( in length )
- no vacuoles
- large, central vacuole
- cube shaped
Lateral Meristematic
- stems
