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

Dermal tissue forms a "skin" of the plant.

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

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

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

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

Ground tissue in roots and stems functions mainly in the:

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

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

What are the two kinds of vascular tissue?

Has thick-walled cells that conduct water and mineral nutrients from a plants roots through its stems to its leaves.

Type of xylem cells that are narrow, elongated, and tapered at each end. Water flows from one to the next through pits.

In xylem, they are wider than tracheids and have large perforations in their ends that allow water to flow more quickly.

Vascular tissue that contains cells that conduct sugars and other nutrients throughout a plants body.

The conducting cells of phloem have:

Conducting strands in phloem are celled:

Carry out cell respiration, protein synthesis, and other metabolic functions for to sieve-tube cells.

Type of tissue system made of epidermal cells, guard cells, and cork cells

Type of tissue system made of mesophyll cells, cortex cells, and pith cells.

Type of tissue system made of vessel cells, tracheids, sieve-tube cells, and companion cells.

Anchors the plant, also functions in the storage of organic nutrients.

The three tissue systems found in most plants.

Three major organs of all vascular plants.

Monocots have a highly branched __________ root system.

Dicots have a large central root from which much smaller roots branch, this is called a __________ root system

Ground tissue surrounding the vascular tissue in a root.

Greatly increase the surface area of a root and its ability to absorb water and mineral nutrients.

Covers and protects the actively growing root tip.

Supports the leaves and houses the vascular tissue.

Leave are attached to a stem at points called?

The space between 2 nodes.

Stems that are green and flexible.

Herbaceous stems contain bundles of xylem and phloem called?

Vascular bundles are scattered throughout the ground tissue.

Stiff and non-green stems.

Grow into new branches and produce new growth, found at the tips and at the nodes.

The xylem in __________ which can no longer conduct water, provides support.

Woody stems are covered by __________, which protects them from physical damage and helps prevent water loss.

Together, the layers of cork and phloem make up the __________ of a woody stem.

Lie outside the heartwood in woody stems, contains vessel cells that can conduct water.

Primary photosynthetic organ of a plant.

Flattened portion of a leaf that is attached to a stem by a stalk called the petiole.

Leaves with an undivided blade.

Leaves with 2 or more leaflets.

Ground tissue found in leaves. Important for photosynthesis and gas exchange in the leaf.

Loss of water vapor from a plant.

Tiny pores that cover the leaf.

Control the opening and closing of the stomata.

The movement of organic compounds within a plant from a source to a sink.
