Plant structure and tissue

What are the three major types of plant cells?

• Parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma

• Pith, cortex, epidermis

• Xylem, phloem, meristematic

• Stomata, trichomes, vessel elements

Which type of plant cell is responsible for gas exchange, storage, and photosynthesis?

• Sclerenchyma cells

• Tracheids

• Parenchyma cells

• Collenchyma cells

What is the main function of collenchyma cells?

• Transport of materials

• Storage

• Support for surrounding tissues

• Gas exchange

What is the main function of sclerenchyma cells?

• Protection

• Photosynthesis

• Gas exchange

• Support

What is the main function of meristematic tissue?

• Transport of water and minerals

• Support for the plant

• Gas exchange

• Rapidly dividing cells for plant growth

Where are apical meristems found?

• In the dermal tissue

• At the tips of roots and stems

• In the xylem tissue

• In the phloem tissue

What is the main function of dermal tissue in a plant?

• Photosynthesis

• Transport of water and minerals

• Support for the plant

• Protection and outer covering

What is the function of stomata in a plant?

• Transport of water and minerals

• Storage

• Gas exchange

• Support for the plant

What is the main function of trichomes in a plant?

• Gas exchange

• Protection from predators

• Transport of materials

• Storage

What is the main function of xylem tissue in a plant?

• Transport of water and minerals

• Support for the plant

• Gas exchange
