Plant Structure and Function Test Review

Forms the protective outer layer of a plant.

• dermal tissue system

• vascular tissue system

• ground tissue system

• parenchyma tissue system

Makes up much of the inside of roots, stems, and leaves.

• ground tissue

• vascular tissue

• dermal tissue

• meristematic tissue

Dermal tissue forms a "skin" of the plant.

• epidermis

• endodermis

• parenchyma

• collenchyma

Helps prevents water loss, coats the epidermis of leaves and stems, water tight.

• cuticle

• epidermis

• endodermis

• schlerenchyma

Dermal tissue on woody stems and roots consist of several layers of dead cells that are referred to as:

• cork

• cuticle

• heartwood

• hairs

Consists of thin-walled cells that remain alive and keep their nucleus after they mature.

• ground tissue

• dermal tissue

• vascular tissue

• parenchyma tissue

Ground tissue in leaves is packed with chloroplasts and is specialized for:

• photosynthesis

• cell respiration

• chemosynthesis

• storage of water

Ground tissue in roots and stems functions mainly in the:

• storage of water and starches

• storage of chloroplasts

• photosynthesis

• chemosynthesis

Ground tissue throughout the body of the plant surrounds and supports:

• vascular tissue

• dermal tissue

• epidermis

• cuticle

Along with protection of the plant dermal tissue also functions in:

• gas exchange and absorption of mineral nutrients

• water exchange

• photosynthesis

• sugar storage
