ALL YOU NEED TO
KNOW AND MORE
If you don’t leaf me alone, I’ll think you’re a
stump; but if you wood bark, you might be
able to get to the root of my problem.

Meristems
-Regions of cell division/growth within a plant.
Plants have 2 apical meristems
Think about where would these be (where does
the plant grow from?

root
More Tissues…..
Pith
Wood
Bark
Cork Cambium
Vascular Cambium
Vascular Cambium
• VC- an example of a lateral meristematic
region- surrounds the pith & xylem.
Produces secondary xylem & phloem
Cork Cambium
• CC- also an example of a lateral
meristematic region – replaces the
epidermis during secondary growth
Tall Tree Trunks Tell Tales
So, where does the mass of a
plant come from?
The Darkness (amount of the night) is actually
more important then the amount of light!

Xylem = dead cells (tracheids/vessels)
Phloem = mostly living (sieve
tubes/companion cells
Meristematic tissue = growth tissue
