Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Plants consist of vegetative structures- roots, leaves, and stems, and the reproductive structures- flowers and fruits. The plant organs consists of four kinds of tissues namely, epidermal tissue, meristematic tissue, vascular tissue, and ground tissue.

One of the major differences between roots and leaves is
roots have vascular tissue but leaves do not.
root cells have cell walls and leaf cells do not.
only leaves have phloem and only roots have xylem.
a waxy cuticle covers leaves but it is absent in roots.
The tip of a plant like the prairie species we grew in
class, where cells are continuously dividing and growing,
as well as the tips of the roots where cell division
continues throughout the plant's life are termed
meristems
cambium
O ground tissue

- T/F Question Parenchyma is soft, internal plant tissue. Xylem and phloem are plant structural tissue. Periderm tissue is a type of plant epidermis in young stems and roots. Plant shoots include stems, leaves, and flowers. Monocot stems have their vascular bundles arranged in a ring pattern in the ground tissue. Eudicots have their leaf veins arranged in a parallel pattern. Photosynthesis in leaves takes place in the mesophyll layer Eudicots possess a large taproot. The limiting factor for plants is phosphorus. Root hairs help to decrease the absorbtive surface area of a plant. Xylem conducts plant sugars and organic molecules. Plant tissues grow from meristem cells that continually divide during the growing season. Primary plant growth involves thickening of the stems and roots. Plants can undergo asexual reproduction without cross-pollination. The fertilization process in plants is a double fertilization process. Over 1/3 of the U.S. food supply comes from the cross-pollination…arrow_forwardThe _______ of a plants is made up of the stem and it's branches.arrow_forwardWhich of these plant structures is considered a source tissue?
