Question

Plant Tissue Types- List the 4 types of plant tissue and their function

Answer 1

Answer:

ground tissue- is the most common type of plant tissue found in the interior of the plant and can support, store and provide photosynthesis for the plant. Made up of 3 basic plant cells ( Parenchyma, Collenchyma, and Sclerenchyma cells)

dermal tissue- Provides cover and protection for plant. Usually found on the outside similar to skin. Epidermis cells make up the dermal layer and secrete a waxy substance called the cuticle that also protects the plant.

vascular tissue- includes xylem & phloem and helps with water and food transport. The xylem and phloem are kept together in vascular bundles running throughout the ground tissue.

meristem tissue- is growth tissue. This tissue made up of rapidly dividing cells and can be found at the tips of the roots and stems of plants. the growth areas of tips of roots and stems is called APICAL MERISTEM and the secondary growth that makes a plant wider is called LATERAL MERISTEM.
