photosynthesis, or store water and nutrients

_______________ tip and a
_________________ tip

growth
9.2 Plant Tissue

– Forms the outer protective covering of a plant
• __________________ tissue
– Fills the interior of a plant
• __________________ tissue
– Transports water and nutrients in a plant and
provides support
9.2 Plant Tissue
• _________________ Tissue
– Contains single layer of closely packed
epidermal cells
– Epidermal cells exposed to air have a waxy
_______________________
• Minimizes water loss
• Protection from disease
– Root epidermis has root hairs
• Absorb water
• Anchor the plant
9.2 Plant Tissue
• Epidermal Tissue
– Guard cells surround ______________
• Gas exchange
9.2 Plant Tissue
• _______________ Tissue
– Forms the bulk of a plant
– Fills the space between the epidermal and the
vascular tissue
– Most of the _______________ and
________________________ takes place in
ground tissue
– Also responsible for producing hormones,
toxins, pigments, and other specialized
chemicals
9.2 Plant Tissue
• Vascular Tissue
– ___________________ transports water and
minerals from the roots to the leaves
– ___________________ transports sucrose
and other organic compounds (including
hormones) from the leaves to the roots
– Xylem and phloem are complex tissues
because they are composed of two or more
types of cells
9.2 Plant Tissue
• Vascular system extends from roots
through stems and leaves
• In the roots, the vascular tissue is located
in the vascular _______________
• In the stem, it forms vascular
___________________, and in the leaves,
it is found in leaf veins
9.3 Monocot Versus
Eudicot Plants
• Flowering plants are divided into two
groups dependent upon the number of
cotyledons are present in the
___________________ plant
– __________________ = seed leaves
• Monocots (one cotyledon)
• Eudicots (two cotyledons)
9.4 Organization of Roots
• Root Cap Protects Root Apical Meristem
• Three Regions
– Zone of ____________________
• Primary meristem area
• Continuously dividing cells
– Zone of ____________________
• Cells lengthen as they become specialized
– Zone of _____________________
• Fully differentiated cells
• Presence of root hairs
9.4 Organization of Roots
• Anatomy of a Eudicot Root
– ___________________
– __________________ - type of ground tissue
– ___________________ - forms a boundary
between the cortex and the inner vascular
cylinder
– Vascular Tissue
9.4 Organization of Roots
• Monocot Roots
– Have the same growth zones as eudicot
roots.
– Contains _______________, a type of ground
tissue, which is centrally located
– Pith is surrounded by a
_____________________composed of
alternating xylem and phloem bundles

– __________________ root
system - Slender roots and

9.5 Organization of Stems
• Woody twigs provide a good example for
studying stem organization
– ____________________ Buds
• Contains the shoot tip protected by bud scales,
which are modified leaves
– Leaf Scars and Bundle Scars where leaves
have dropped
– ___________________ Buds
• Can give rise to branches or flowers
9.5 Organization of Stems
• ___________________ Stems
– Mature nonwoody stems
– Exhibit only primary growth
– ______________________ - vascular
bundles arranged in distinct ring
– ______________________- scattered
vascular bundles
9.5 Organization of Stems
• Woody stems
– Both primary and secondary tissues
• _________________ tissues are those new
tissues formed each year from primary meristems
right behind the shoot apical meristem
• __________________ tissues develop during the
first and subsequent years of growth from lateral
meristems: vascular cambium and cork cambium
– All plants have primary growth
– Only conifers and woody eudicots have
secondary growth (increases girth)
9.5 Organization of Stems
• Wood
– ________________________ that builds up
year after year – increase girth of tree
– In trees that have growing season, vascular
cambium are _____________during winter
• Annual ring is made up of spring wood and
summer wood
• Annual rings can provide a growth record
